Sure, and thanks for asking. It’s a 6’ Fenwick HMX blank that I built a couple of months ago. The blank is rated for 2-6 lb test and I think it’s a fast action. I’d have to do some research if you wanted the components list. I dry built it and hung the reel on it to insure the proper balance. The reel is a Shimano Soare bb 500spg that does well with some 5lb braid. My favorite jig comes out of a 1/32 do it pro mold and with the #8 hook weighs 1/43oz. And odd number but that’s what it comes out. Over a few months I built a 5’6”, 6’, and a 6’6”. All Fenwick, all 2-6 lb rated. The 5’6” is probably my favorite because I fish tight quarters a lot. Pm me if you need further details, I’ll be glad to help.
The fifth picture shows the 6’6” and the sixth pic shows the 5’6”. I kept them as light as I could within reason.
