I'm looking for a 5'6" or 6' blank that fully loads the tip at 10# with a 30# mid section. I've gendered at the bfc5650 and bfc6080, but I'm not convinced they're what I'm after. I'm a big fan of glass and it would be highly preferred. Can anyone tell me which blanks are in the 5650 and 6080 and some detailed specs as a starting point? And recommend a blank that would fit my needs? Also, has anyone run across any type of paint, thread, or adhesive material that works well at lighting up the tip under low light conditions? Thanks!

A little information to get you started. The blanks for those models are the ISW 66 H-ST and ISW 72 HS-ST. They are full fiberglass, but they are one of our imported models. Our other blanks you could consider would be mostly a composite built. (Graphite and Fiberglass blend) The GFC 72 XXH would be another one you could look at. Any other rod builders out there with thoughts?
