I finally got to pick up a couple of these blanks after checking them out a few months ago. Saltywater Tackle offers some of the finest jigging and popping products on the market including their growing line of blanks. Each model offers a unique combination of action power and light weight perfect for their intended application. These are going to be personal builds, but they will be available for customers as well. If you are interested in having a custom rod built on any of Saltywater Tackle's blanks (OBX, Race Point, El Maestro) I can set you up. All custom builds come with a Saltywater Tackle rod bag.
I plan on using the OBX400 for Bluefin Tuna off on NJ and AJ's down south paired up with my JE PE 7. The El Maestro 710 will be used for throwing poppers and stickbaits to NJ Bluefin, Yellowfin and Albacore tuna, Mahi and also large stripers paired up with a Saltiga 4500/5000H. These are going to be built with Matagi components, Fuji Guides, and premium cork/hard wood grips. I will post more pictures as the builds progress.
