Pac Bay PBX composite

Anyone used these blanks. Particularly looking at the heavy tuna stand-up fast action ones. (80-130 class and 30-60 class). Great price and they look comparable to Calstar Grafighters. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Ben,

We stock both Grafighters & PBX blanks and IMHO, you could see them side by side and even pull on them and have a tough time telling the difference if they didn't have labels on them. The PBX is a heck of a value. I've built & fished both brands and would recommend either without hesitation.

I haven't used the bigger sticks, but I've put the XG70L through it's paces on everything from ling cod to 100+ pound sturgeon and I agree, they are a heck of a value. Most people would have a really tough time telling it from a Calstar 700XLH.
