Today went out to test the Pac Bay 11' 2 piece blank. Did 2 layouts different from b/4. Set up both on the tip section w/o any stripper on the butt section. Both sections are equal length. First layout KW25 @ 47" transitioning KL16 & KL12 to #KT10 choker w/ 5 KT10 runners. Casted well except noticed the line slapping the blank in front of guide. Minor slapping. Changed to layout #2. KW30 @ 36" w/Kt25 and KL16 to same choker & runner setup. Casted well also noticed no slap. The 25 would be ideal if the frame was as tall as the KW30. Both set ups stressed well with the second layout utilizing the butt section power. There is a minimal bend in the butt section in compared to the Century FMJ. Now the butt section on that rod is STIFF. Thanks for all your input.
