Hi!

Soon there's coming new series of 2 piece swimbait blanks designed for pike/muskie anglers and light saltwater species. There's three different blanks. Theres very cool looking outfit as kevlar shrim lays 3/4 blank (seen on picture below).
I've built and fished with all three and those are real deal! Very nice blanks with reasonable price. Here they are:

Bushido 3K 86-2/15-50, 8'6", Medium Heavy, Fast, up to 130g.
Very nice blank for 'smaller' pike lures up to ~140g. Casts nice from 20-30g and best with ~60-90g lures. Especially designed for spinning reel users. Flex nicely, but won't "kick back" after cast. There's still backbone to tame big fish.

Bushido 3K 86-2/20-40, 8'6", Heavy, Fast, up to 160g.
Similar with little brother, but more backbone. Casts about ~170-180g. Somewhat stiffer than MH version.

Bushido 3K 8-2/30-50, 8', Extra Heavy, Fast, up to 250g.
'Big Nasty'. Casts almost everything between 60-280g. Stiff and mean machine. This is blank for big boys and big lures. Blank seems very stiff, but actually it bends nicely when you cast with it. I liked this a lot. Compared couple same level rods.

Hello MardukFIN
Your feedback is very interesting to me specially on the Bushido 3K 86-2/15-50, 8 ' 6 ", Medium Heavy, Fast, up to 130g.
I have to assemble one this month and I was looking for info on this blank.
You are saying it's a 30-120g. That would suits me perfectly.
I see that you're advising a spinning for this blank ? can you explain why please?

One of designers were saying that. :D I have no experience. I've built 2 MH's for baitcaster.
Spinning reel users on heavy pike fishing are very rare here in Finland. 99% uses baitcaster with lures heavier than 50g.

Bonjour à tous !

Des retours sur cette série ? Des gens qui aurait monté la 20-40 ? Je cherche une canne big bait de plus de 250cm en 2 brins pour lancer des swimbaits et des ls entre 90 et 130gr.

D'avance merci !
