If anyone has built on a cts blank in lower line weights (ie 0wt - 3wt) I would love to hear your reviews. In particular how the blank fishes and compares to some premium brands.

I have made several cts blanks all in the larger weights. As far as I am concerened they are the finest on th e market. They have an all carbon helex core, no fiberglass. Lighter and stronger thain other blanks the same weight.Will be watching for your posts. Good luck
