[QUOTE="Tikka280ai, post: 32080, member: 753"] I built 2 rods with MHX blanks. both are a 6.5 foot 2 piece medium/light fast action with recommended jig weight from 1/8 to 3/8 ounce. they are by far the most sensitive rods that my dad and I own. first fish I caught on it was a 5 pound walleye. I was throwing a storm swimbait from shore and felt very small taps then all hell broke loose. The rod had enough backbone to effectively fight the fish but was still sensitive enough to feel the slightest taps from the fish. I would recommend the MHX blanks for a starter but once you get the feel for building rods and how you like your rods to perform you can test others and see what you like best [/QUOTE]
