This set is on a Im7 blank. But depending on price and a number of things I have a few from im6 to im10 with carbon fiber I like.You start playing in the im10 ball park it gets out of the price I can see anyone paying for a crappie rod. I wanted to see if I could build a sub 2oz rod. I had about 400$ in components alone. The blank I built my saltwater inshore rods on is a im10 and that blank alone is 200.
