Product description
Our take on the SJ 842 MHX blank
The SJ 842 is the blank we would pick to build a versatile 7'0" spinning rod. Its 5 to 25 g rating and fast action cover a lot of lures with one blank. For a first build or for a seasoned builder, it is a simple and reliable base.

On the water with the SJ 842 for spinning
Soft baits, shaky head and topwater
The SJ 842 casts 5 to 25 g. This range covers a wide choice of lures. At the light end, you work a soft bait on a light jig head. The shaky head rig is fished slowly, in contact with the bottom. The fast action puts the bend in the top of the blank. The tip shows bites clearly, and the butt stays firm on the hook set. At 52 g, the blank stays light for a 7'0" rod. You feel it over a long day of repeated casts.
At the heavy end, you cast topwater baits and hard lures up to 25 g. A 6 to 12 lb line keeps the balance between the fine tip and the reserve in the butt. With a fluke or a soft shad, work the lure with short twitches of the tip. The medium-light power suits these short moves well.
Building your rod on the SJ 842
The SJ 842 is a one-piece blank. With no ferrule, the bend stays smooth from butt to tip. The butt diameter is 13.75 mm. The measurement table on the page then shows how it tapers, down to 11.60 mm at the last reading. These figures help you pick the reel seat and the grip before you order parts.
If you travel with your rod a lot, look at the SJ 842-2 MHX. It keeps the same length and power in two pieces. The SJ 842 remains the pick for a spinning blank in a single section.
