Thanks all!! I am going to start the rod in about two weeks from now.
I will try a conbo of all your stuff. And I am sure it will come out just fine
I am going to rebuild the same as before. It moght be that I went to high on the foot??
It is 3 seasons old and has been my main rod for Comm. Fluking so it has had a ton of use and caught a ton of fish (really) I am sure it has caught 2000 # of fish in the last 3 years!! So ithas taken a beaten! ButI love the rod. I just built the same rod again brand new. So I have 3 of them now. 1- 3 years, 1-1 year and 1 brand new.
Makes a great Fluke rod with a Penn 146!! Blank is a St.Croix F70M-BK Lure wt 3/4 to 3 Line wt 10 to 20
It is a spinning blank but I built as a conventional
