  • Lightweight, high-grade graphite construction delivers crisp responsiveness with surprising power
  • Saltwater-ready durability with a corrosion-resistant finish built to handle the elements
  • Precision tapers support both casting accuracy and fish-fighting leverage
  • Perfect for custom spinning or casting setups targeting light-to-medium-duty species

  • Inshore: Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Flounder
  • Freshwater: Striped Bass, Catfish, Pike, Musky

Each rod blank can be registered online with its individual serial number by either the custom rod builder or the end user of the rod. When registered, the blanks unique serial number identifies that rod blank to registrant. If the registrant sells or gives the rod blank or finished rod to another person, the warranty can be transferred to the new owner – an industry first.

Awesome and versatile rod blank

This blank is great for inshore builds to throw metals, jigs, and other lures. I particularly like the action for throwing metals or epoxy jigs to bluefish and bonito in the NE.

Great blank, awesome for inshore saltwater work

All around, a great blank. Casts like a champ and looks very nice. Primarily used for inshore saltwater - had no issues reeling in slot redfish. Works great with all jigheads in my collection.

D
David Dibblee (Bordentown, NJ, US)
L904

Ive wrapped several L904 blanks for jigging fluke inshore. The L904 handles 2 to 5oz jigs nicely (verticle drops not casting) Its plenty of backbone to move the jig but loads nicely for keeping pressure on the fish. Great blanks!!

Great blank for laketrout

This is my third build using this blank for lake trout jigging rod. Did a spiral wrap on this build. Rod is perfect for jigging 1/4 to 1-1/2 oz verticle jigs and handles fish nicely from 2lbs to 35 lbs. (hoping to test it on a bigger one this year.)

7’6 - L904 medium heavy is perfect

i am very happy 7’6 medium heavy.
- i have bought 2ones 7’6 medium heavy. Elastic, curvy at the top, very lightweight, it cast far, soft, good action, relax action.
- its best choice for snook lure, kingfish, cobia, popping cork, surf, pier….light offshore with lure
- 7’6 mh L904 is great for casting lure. can’t go wrong with it.
without 7’6 heavy is ok, light offshore bottom, perfect popping offshore , many hooks bottom fishing in pier , handle big snook , big ladyfish, giant bluefish . i make it be conventional rod with spinning/ casting guide , Fuji MN medium duty guides, or LSV, ….
- i will buy more

First ever rod build, and loving it so far. Using it for inshore saltwater fishing in Texas. Very light, but sturdy. Paired with the LZR Light-Duty Spinning Guides (LZR-SPIN1-B), and a Shimano Vanford 2500.
