I don't know much or hear much about ATC blanks, I know it was Shikari Rods but being pretty new at this I really don't know much about Shikari either. I have a ATC blank on order an ATCII blank # SW1008 and I'm sure their quality is good! Just wondering why I don't hear much about them? Re: ATC opinions?

The only ATC blank I have used so far is the MU703. It is a very nice rod, strait, good finish and was consistent with the specs they list for the blank. Their customer service was great also. My blank shipped without a label, I emailed them and they mailed one out immediately. Scott Sheets www.smsrods.com Re: ATC opinions?

No expert, but the ATC blank I ordered with the same number as the Shikari wasn't the same blank in action and weight. It was a nice blank, but it also verified what I had heard that ATC has their own ideas in blank design and may integrate some of the Shikari designs as needed. Re: ATC opinions?

They are not the same blanks as the shikari blanks. I liked the old shikari blanks way better. Re: ATC opinions?

Here's an interesting article to read about ATC. It's an interview with Bob Loomis who heads up ATC.

ATC blanks - so far, so good. I have about 10 more to build and test to see how they compare to the old Shikari equivalents. Several of the old Shikari blanks were amoung the best I ever tested for certain techniques. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
