I'm planning on guilding a cod fishing rod for up here around Cape Cod. I would like it to be 6-7' length. I will be using 65# braid line. Jigs can run from 14-24 ounces. Lead weights for bottom bait fishing can run from 16-21 ounces. Depending on the time of year and water temps, I can be in water depths from 100-400 feet. I'm thinking of using a GFC78XXH blank. I don't know if that blank will handle that much weight. Any thoughts you have will be greatly appreciated.

If you are able to get your hands on one of those blanks I would say that that would be your best bet. We no longer make this blank but it would work great. Hope this helps.
