    I have a 800h factory rod and had a hybrid blank 800h before. While they look nice and will certainly get the job done, these blanks aren't so exciting. It doesn't throw the heavy bait well. I would go with loomis for throwing hudds and dobyns or okuma for punkers. This makes a great saltwater rod though.

    Thanks 4g63 for the input. I have a custom psw809h that I use to throw the heavy baits and as a saltwater jig stick, it works great. I need a lighter second rod and I like the specs on those blanks, I need to get out there and do some hands on to see what feels right. Thanks again.
