I bought one of those $15, 7 wt fly rod blanks last year from rodblanks.com. I bought it because I didn’t have a 7 wt but I wasn’t sure what I would use it for. My thinking was maybe a big bass bug rod. Well I found another use for it in the last few weeks, Carp. That rod has put a hurting a bunch of carp and is still going strong. I put a lot of pressure on the fish with this rod with the mindset of if it breaks no big loss, I did this over and over and over and this rod never even fliched. High sticking, not a problem. It is a mod action blank that will cast nice tight loops. I don’t think it has the sensitivity of the high end rods but who needs sensitivity for carp? I think this rod would be at home in any sight fishing situation and I wouldn’t be afraid to throw it at anything in freshwater. I really like this rod!

If you ever come down to the Texas Gulf Coast, that rod will make an excellent trout or redfish rod. As a matter of fact, some of us jokingly call the redfish saltwater carp because they look and pull like redfish.

Bought one of the 7wt. blanks and put in to work down in Baja. I had that rod bent beyond belief and it passed the test. Great blank for the price......
