Hey guys,
I just got a 12/0 and I'm interested in building a rod.
It is my first time building one and I need help figuring out what blank I will need.
I want a 6.5 to 8 foot rod as the finished product.
In the 80-100 rod class.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks alot,
Chris
Hey Chris,there is a guy selling 80lb-unlimited Gator glass blanks on here in the for sale column . He can also be found on ebay if you do a search for "rod blanks" They come in 10' lengths,so you can cut it down to tune in the action your looking for. I have one that I built for my sons 14/0. I didn't buy this blank from him,but we have been very pleased with it. Hope this helps
there are seeker blanks 50-100lb for around $120 at mudhole
I agree with Joe the Seeker S775-8 is a really nice blank I just built one for e polk, ask him how he likes it

Nice blank if looking for an 8 foot blank.
Keep in mind for an 8 foot blank shipping is $13 plus $10 for the extra lenght total $23 plus $8 tax
$151 total
I sold out on the 6 blanks of the gatorglass 80lb - Unlimited.
If you need a 10 foot gatorglass shoot me a PM I know who has them for $175 all day long.
Building off the Seeker S775-8 Blank,
Got fuji heavy duty guides (25,20,16,12x3,10x3, with aftco rollertip)
what would the guide placement be? do I need to use all the guides or space them out more?
thanks

id lay the rod down and place the guides next to the rod and see if you want all the guides or less or even more

Give me a call and i will explain the guide placement to you
Finally finished it and can't wait to hook up on it.
Thanks for your advice guys.
nice job. its always nice to catch a fish on a rod that you built with your own hands. 
Beautiful rod ,love the colors, and the long foregrip is a plus when reaching up to bend the rod and add heavy pressure.

i like the gator colors 
going back up for my junior year next month, will miss the fishing, but love Gainesville
Go Gators.
I must say I like your taste in color choices, you must be either an Auburn fan or a Gator fan(I'm hoping you say Gators.) That rod looks so close to mine that it makes me miss my old rod
