The XPS 702X Dropshot Spl is built on the LP842 XMG popping rod blank.
Still very popular blanks with the custom rodbuilders, Mudhole orders a big patch of the 7 12 ft LP 904 blanks that haven't been in the catalog for awhile. I have 2 of those blanks in built rods, phenominal rods. The LP 844 and LP 842 are extremely popular blanks for me also, very versatile blanks that can be used for many things nation wide.
The LSJ 842 makes a fantastic smallmouth and especially walleye rod, The walleye guys usually cut 6 inches off the butt which is how Lamiglas made their great 6 1/2 ft model.
