6-6ish. Extra fast. For hair jigs. 3/16 lightest, 5/16 heaviest baits are what I use. I want sensitive. Max of 6'9 finished rod. I have the equipment to cut down a blank if I need.
I'd like to keep it around $150-175 max
My current blank is a NFC HM 663 and while I like the tip, the butt just isnt enough. I want to try something other than a NFC due to the ridiculous price if they arent on sale
