CTS Vintage series?

Has anyone tried out these rods? I really like the feel of the old slow graphite (i.e., early Winston graphite) and was curious if these are similar.

Talon used to make some blanks that were Winston IM6 like, haven't tried any lately. They are at talon-graphite.com, looks like the current blanks are in the same mold from their website.

I just built a 9' #5 in this model and it is a wondeful rod. Slower action when casting, but a solid butt section. This is th 5th rod I have built on CTS blanks and am more impressed with each one.
