Seeker CSW 808 for swimbaits
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:57 am
I am reposting this here from the custom rods forum in hopes of getting some "bites"
After racking my brain for several weeks between factory, JDM, pre-built customs etc., I am going to give the following blank a shot:
Seeker CSW 808 from their "Blue Lightning" series...Randall at Seeker shared with me that this is the same blank that they cut down to 7'6" for the Paul Elias ARig rod and handles 1-5oz well (the 8oz rating is optimistic per Randall).

I am going to have this rod buit to 7'10" (down from the actual 8'2" length when rolled from Seeker) and use it for a myriad of baits from 1oz Buzzjets to Hudd 68s, Wooden Punker Jrs., Magnum Spooks, Bull Shad, Small Shellcracker, 2-3oz Pike/Musky Inlines and Spoons, and the like.
50lb braid, Z2020H + 20lb-ish leader round it out.
Anyone have any feedback or experience with this series of blanks? They look and sound very promising.
