I was asking about Seeker Super Flukerand after a few responses I started looking United Composites Dual Helix blanks after Garrone mentioned them.Can someone recommend a particular blank model to be used as my lightest fluke rod from United Composites

Thanks

I imagine Mike would be the best guy to ask.

Talk to Mike if he is building on them. I still own a GUSA Dual Helix blank from the late 90's that I always felt was way ahead of its time. Its no longer made, but the overall design and concept of these blanks is pretty amazing. I used to build on GUSA blanks back in the 90's and I never had one come back from a customer.

There are alot of gimmicks and tricks today, when it comes to rods and rod blanks, but the blank your talking about is not one of them. I really believe that todays jigging blanks are around because of GUSA and their designs with the DH materials. The blanks will take one hell of a load and I could not break one, ever.
Talk to Mike, he will be the one with the latest info. You can buy one blind from the catalogs, but with blanks like this, I dont think its accurate. They have more to them, than just the specs in a book.

I use the old 70H and have whipped fish over 100# on it. I think you made the right call there!!!

Speaking of old GUSA Blanks, I have one of their "travel blanks" as they called them back then at the shop for sale. Its a 7' or 7'6" blank that slides down in the butt section, to 5'6" I believe..... Been saving it for years, but with our new JJ Rods, I will never use it. Its not a 2pc. it is similar to telescopic blank, the top slides down about 18" into the butt section. Think its a MH or H action. If interested, shoot me a PM.

Think I found something similar, I will double check.
7'6" Mod-Fast Ex-Heavy 20-40 lb. 2-5 oz. 7.5 .610 3.75 oz. 154.95 Telescopes down to 5'8" or 6' I believe.
