Just curious if anyone has built on the new Hook & Hackle IM 7 fly blanks at this point and what they think of them. Priced very reasonable, supposedly 47,000,000 modulus and fast action. Thank you for your input. Re: Any comments on the new Hook & Hackle IM 7 blanks

Did you see the price for the new Rainshadows? Rx7+'s for $100 an up and Rx8+'s for $200 and up! Yikes! I hope H&H puts em on sale sometime.
On the other hand, they have the new Matrix blanks and they are nicely priced. :-) Kevin Re: Any comments on the new Hook & Hackle IM 7 blanks

I have not built on the IM7 blanks yet. But I can tell you that the IM6 blanks are very good and well weorth the money. Unless you are looking at that specific IM7 blank for the fast action I think the IM6 is the better deal because of the lifetime warranty. Re: Any comments on the new Hook & Hackle IM 7 blanks

According to the data that I have there is very little difference between IM 6 and IM 7. The modulus of elasticity is about the same but IM7 has slightly higher tensile strength. Re: Any comments on the new Hook & Hackle IM 7 blanks

I spoke to Bob via e-mail today and he told me thay aren't too different from each other , the 7 is a bit lighter , and a little faster . It also states that the 7 is imported , where the 6 is made here . Hope this helps , I'm going to try one my self when I finish up the couple I building now .
