Complete guide to selecting the right fishing rod blank for your custom build. Learn about materials, actions, powers, and specifications.
The rod blank is the foundation of any custom fishing rod. Choosing the right blank determines your rod's performance, sensitivity, and suitability for your target species.
This guide covers everything you need to know about rod blanks - from material selection to action and power ratings.

Power rating indicates the rod's lifting strength and ability to handle heavy fish. Choose based on your target species and fishing conditions.
Fast action for precision and sensitivity, medium for versatility, slow for protecting light lines and small fish.
Larger, stronger fish require heavier power ratings. Match power to the average size of your target species.
Longer rods provide better casting distance and line control. Shorter rods offer better accuracy and control in tight spaces.
Invest in quality blanks. Higher-modulus carbon fiber blanks provide better performance and sensitivity, making your time investment worthwhile.
