Breachway blank

[pbadad]

Thanks Dave. I have a sb1363m in spin which i don't use. i just might convert. How about a s-glass blank? MSB1362F or 3M? Lighter and being a composite, the best of both worlds.

Breachways, I don't know but the 1205 makes a good conventional that you would use plenty of other places as well.

if you're going to look into s-glass, look into the super seeker composites. i haven't played with the surf blanks too much, but the inshore and offshore models are pretty industructible. the lami s-glass blanks are ssb, there isn't a msb. the 2f is a nice blank on the open beach, but i'd stick with a 3m for a jetty.

I think he might be thinking of the SMB 108 3M, the longest "live bait" model in S-glass.

I'm not a big fan of glass any more, as I think that the GSB line from Lami is plenty durable, as are some of the stronger XRA blanks like the 1205 and 126 1MH. 90% or more of the guys who rock-hop at tough places like Montauk use the GSB Lamis (usually the 120 1M), and I think that style of fishing is more abusive to rods than jetty fishing--just my two cents.

I'm 56 years old and more than a hour of casting with a SB 121 3M really wears on me, and I can't ever picture myself using even an S-glass 11-1/2 footer again.
