CHOOSING THE BLANK ADAPTED TO YOUR FISHING
LE CAHIER DES CHARGES
To choose your blank, you need to draw up a specification.
In this specification, several essential pieces of information will need to be taken into account: length, action,power and choice of materials.
For example, for tuna fishing, or crank-bait fishing, you're not going to use a high-modulus carbon. So it's imperative to know whether you need a low-module, high-module, or even fiberglass carbon for your fishing.
AVAILABLE TOOLS
To help and support you in the choice of your blank, Rodhouse provides several useful tools.The CONFIGURATOR
The configurator is a tool that works with keywords. Keywords can be a species of fish, a fishing technique, or a specific location.
Based on these keywords, the algorithm will suggest different blanks in certain "Stories".
Once you've clicked on the blank that suits you, you'll be spoilt for choice with handle kits and ring packs.
Thus, in just 3 clicks, your rod is complete! It's the easiest way for the beginner angler.

The second tool for choosing your blank is the blank table.
The advantage of the blanks table is that you'll be able to be more precise in your search by indicating the action, length and power desired.
Furthermore, you even have the option of entering other criteria such as brand, number of strands, etc...
To conclude, this tool is very practical and will enable you to find the blank that suits you.

The comparator is a unique tool in the world!
It's a very practical tool because if you're hesitating between two blanks references, you can put them in comparison, and thus see the curve of the blank, see how it behaves in bending.
Thanks to this tool, you'll be able to determine which of the two, for example, is the most powerful, or which of the two is going to be the fastest.
