Hail Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Ok guys I have a question for you. I acquired a gift certificate from a tournament this last weekend worth $250 from a local rod builder. What is a recommended blank you guys would build off of for throwing 250s and hudds? I looked at the phenix blanks but was getting kinda confused on what to get. Any help is appreciated. Trust me I'd much rather just order a LDC but kinda have to go this route. Thanks PHYSH83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeast_trev Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Phenix Black Diamond 869H would be a great blank to handle the 250. May be a little much for the Hudd though. 2 very different baits in terms of desired rod capabilities unless you're only concern is being able to cast it PHYSH83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have a rod built on the phenix 869xh.. it throws the 250 very well..i thought maybe it would be over powered and was planning on using it for 10-14" 10oz ish baits.. but the 250, phoney, and the like work great.. probably too stout for the hudd PHYSH83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_R_TX Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Phenix 838 Black Dimond Hybrid. Would be the equivalent or near equivalent to what most of the rod builders are calling their XH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I would go with a fiberglass blend for hudds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
