it started out as a diamond wrap, but then one of the green threads snapped when i was tightening it. i started playing around with it, and the end product kind of looks like a fish.  |

i am pretty sure it is the patriot 967. 8', 3/4 - 4 ounce. i put the rear grip on last winter when i started the rod, but never wrote the blank model down.  |

THEre are quite a few blanks from every manufacturer that will fit teh bill for this type of a rod. I lean towards the FW Bass rods which are used for heavier Spinnerbaits & jigs/pig's. Rods rated from 1/2-2oz will usually work well with up to 5oz - of course your not going to be casting, and one blank will differ from the next.
One of my favorites is the now discontinued Lamiglas Certified Pro XC84MH & H. THey have come out with similar blanks in IM700 series, maybe call Lami and find one that matches these.
I love GUSA's, the C65XH & H are almost exactly the same as the XC's. Also, if you want a really high end blank, the 664 or 704 DHC is imo the BEST Fluke blank for under 5oz. It is a bit stiff & fast, which is how I like them.
St. Croix has a bunch as well, SC2 & SC3 - I'm just not familiar with any specifics.
Another rod which peopl elike for bait fishing & silver bullets is the Lami CGBT781L or 841L. PErsonally, it's too heavy for a BT stick, imo a BT stick should be all graphiote & as light as possible. TEH CBT is a great blank, but imo not for BTing light weights Factory 6620 or 7020.
IF you like Parabolic rods, there are quite a few glass rods to choose from, as well as a few of all graphite blanks which bend like glass - GUSA SW70LM, and a lami Perigee LB841L - which is discontinued.

question
Nice work tlapinski, but I have a question.
How well does that holographic braid work as a butt underwrap. I almost exclusively use A-size threads for underwraps to get a tight base for the over wraps.
You've got kind of a hybrid between diamonds and chevrons...looks very nice.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
