So my bro has a food scale and I decided to take some weights of the two xray blanks I ordered.

When I took the weights I realized the way the scale presents the weight doesn't help much so... I'm looking for one on amazon so I can get more accurate weights.

So far the blanks feel pretty darn nice and resonate nicely. I'm debating what to do with the guide train. My last couple rods I built I used recoils, but I may go titanium alconites for these guys. Also going to experiment with hiding reel seat hoods, normally just cut them down, sand off the rough spots, and use a winding check.

Anyone else receive theirs?

I think Fuji Titanium Alconites are the best bang for your buck. Got any better close up pictures of those blanks

Sure thing, as soon as I get home :-)

I 3rd. Great guides and lots of sizes and styles. The single foot K belly guides are my favorite style. I keep redoing old rods I like with them in my spare time.

Getbit has a sale on some titanium alconite guide sets that look pretty promising. I may go with those for these two blanks.

Here's some more pics. Sorry, was hard to get my phone camera to focus.

Nice man. Get those built up and fish the heck out of them - keep us posted

Got my NFC MB 736-1 (x-ray lmx) today. It's 65,3g. RDA 547g with 181,5 WL.

Do you have measurements on the SJ 736? Just wanted to get a comparison between the SJ 736 and the MB 736.

Check rodhouse.fr. Theres flexing data. Curve seems to be almost identical with every weight.

I’ll check it out, thanks for the info
