Novice rod building questions
I have decided to try to build my own rod for a Revo Premier that I got in the Gander firesale. I want to learn a little more about the process, and am also attracted to the idea of getting a more customized rod for my preferences.
But I have a couple rank beginner questions regarding ordering blanks and grips. I am thinking about using the following blank... Rainshadow XSB843-TC RX8 Graphite Spin Bass Rod Blank Catalog # 261324 The Rainshadow XSB843-TC 7' one piece spin bass rod blank features RX8 graphite, a cutting edge 54 million high modulus, high strain graphite strengthened by the lightest fiberglass scrim available. Beautiful titanium chrome finish, fast action, medium heavy power, .468" butt, 5.0/64ths inch tip." =============================================== Now in addition to being open to any advice about other blank models that yall might think might be better, I have some specific questions that would hold for this blank 1) I want to use a pacific bay minima two piece reel seat, how do I determine what would be the proper inner diameter seat that I should order without having the blank in hand? 2) Same question for the grips. I will order EVA. What inner diameter should I choose? 3) What do the terms spin/jig and mag bass really mean in regards to blanks? Are they just soft descriptions of rod action? I plan to use this a lot for spinnerbaits, traps, some of my power fishing and worm casting in the middle range of weight. Am I going in the right direction? |
