Looking for some "reasonably priced" ultralite to med action spinning blanks. Was wondering if anyone has used the Pac Bay T2 series? Also, any info on experience with the Pac Bay HiAlloy spinning guides would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marc

The T2 Pac Bays are a good blank, I've just narrowed my sellections as much as possible and usually go with Rainshadow if I can on most things. The Pay Bay guides you mentioned are the ones G Loomis used to use on their rods before Shimano bought them, enuf said there, good stuff.
