Hey Guys,

Been awhile since I posted on this board but do look everyday

I was thinking of Building some of the now cheaper Kencor blanks I seen MOON build a while back. Think there Graf/Comps.
Looked like black and grey swirl.

The applications would be casting light rubber 1 to 3 oz
Jigging the bottom 2 to 8 oz and some deeper waters 8 to 16oz and maybe bait on bottom.
This would all be done in East Coast waters also.

I wanted to know about these Blanks:

GP70LC 10/30
GP70MC 15/30
GP70MHC 20/50
GPOS800MS 15/40
Z7X2050 20/50 EXPENSIVE
These two below have no idea about the numbers I see someone else used them if I recall correct.
BZ65X2050
BZ7X1240

I looked on KENCOR site but they really didnt have any ratings on there blanks and I know most are parabolic.

What does the "GP" "Z" "GPO""BZ" stand for?

any imput about these of other blanks anyone has used would be a big help Id like to find out more about them.

Ill check back a lil later have to get to the store.

not sure on the newer ones but Z is for Zibra, the "old" style - $$$ - and B is for blank - don't know if this helps any

Kencor SUCKS.

Just thought you'd like to know.

NO comparison to Seekers or Calstar.

Good luck with customer service. Maybe the next owners will back their play.
