| Hi,
I was wondering how the predator MH blank compares to the loomis steel-15 blank (action, power, stiffness,...).
I own a steel 15 that I love for pike fishing and I'm thinking of adding a predator MH but I'd like to hear how you guys experience the differences/ similarities...
thanks !

| I was thinking of using it for throwing double showgirls, grinders, homemade bucktails (max.3oz), 6" and 7.5" grandmas, dunwright lifelike pikes, etc..but also some heavier pike baits like the huddleston swimbaits!
I'd like to use it also for trolling the larger crankbaits...
grtz,

Location: New Jersey | In my opinion i would go with the predator heavy, it is very similar to the steel 20 but has a little softer tip for loading baits. For what you are describing you want to throw, the heavy would be perfect.

Location: Eagan, MN | Actually the H predator is stiffer than the steel 20. I'll be using my MH predator for things like topraiders, grinders, mepps maribous, etc. |
