All Star Titanium Graphite Rods

Hey. I'm thinking of building a spinning rod on an All Star titanium graphite blank. I was interested in the 6'6" 2 piece, medium power, extra-fast action blank, model BAST785-MS-2. Does anyone have any experience with this blank and rods built on it specifically or with these blanks generally? Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks, Jake

They are outstanding blanks. I have never built one of the two piece blanks but have built a number of popping rods on their 843 and 844 models. I like them a lot and don't feel that you will be disapointed in any way once you have finished the rod.

Later,
Gerald Mc

They are, in a word, outstanding. I build for a local bass pro and he claims they are the best rods he's ever fished with. I have not built on the blank you selected, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it. Very fast action.
