7ft jig/lbg stick??

(1/2) > >>

Gabriel Knaup:
After a jigging blank
6'4 - 7ft max
p.e 5-8
light weight

toying with the idea of turning one off these blanks into a LBG rod anyone willing to share there thoughts or ideas ?? haven't really meet anyone that's done this before..

planning on running a tiagra 30 (braid backing, and 50lb mono top shot)..

want something that i can really apply the drag if necessary
and suited to quick and hard fights but also could withstand long tug of wars if needed

Gabriel Knaup:
ok let me rephrase that

after a jigging blank
6-7ft
50-80lb
up 14kgs of drag

can any one share there thoughts and experiences?

Brandon Khoo:
Gabriel, I know little about LBG but I was wondering, is it safe to try to fish 14kg of drag on the rocks?!

Gabriel Knaup:
No its not lol and I wouldn't recommend it

I will be running 8-10kgs of drag

I am just trying to paint a picture for the blank

I want it to have the capability to handle 12kgs if i want to put the reel into sunset and skull drag some stubborn fish..

Gabriel Knaup:
hence why i am after a jigging blank, to be built. Easier on me and my back to apply those kinds of drags, then the older and more typical blanks used for lbg
