Spinning vs Casting Blank

[chickeywing]

So, technically, there's a difference between spinning and casting blanks...or is there?

My question is if I'm building a casting rod with a spiral wrap, should I go with a spinning or casting blank?

Love the tips guys share on here!

Technically, no, there's no difference in the blank itself. You will find that casting blanks may be a little more powerful than a similar spinning blank.

The blank doesn't care how it's wrapped, either spiral or conventional. Go with the blank that fits your particular needs for length, power and speed.

Absolutely spot on.
