Hello mate,

never heard of the blank, but for a 10ft heavy line rod, I'd go for normal rings as opposed to the 'snake rings'. In fact I discounted rods without proper rings wehn choosing my 10 foot rod. Only my preference though, I've got an 8.5 footer with snake rings which casts great but with the heavier lines I prefer lined rings.
