OutCast blanks are the brainchild of Ken Kimura of Hawai. He has these made to his specs at an overseas facility. I received some of the very first ones to roll off the line, including several surf and saltwater spinning models. I was very impressed. The finish is the first thing that strikes you. Very unique Chameleon finish that changes from purple to gold to aqua to teal depending upon how the light strikes it. But once you get away from that you are also impressed by the power to weight ratio. Very light yet powerful blanks. When I run into blanks that have this kink of power and so little weight my first concern in durability - will they hold up. Thus far, the OutCast blanks seem to be holding up well. I think Mud Hole Tackle is carrying them. Hit the link to the left and inquire about them. Tom Kirkman RodMaker Magazine www.rodmakermagazine.com ......................... Re: Outcast blanks

Yes we are carrying them and stock them in the shop. They are available for order and viewing on-line as well. Like Tom K. said, the power to weight ratio is very good. The finish is out of this world (see for your self the chameleon finish in the on-line photo). They make a chrome (like the bumper of your car) trolling blank that might interest you as well. In general the action of the trolling blanks is moderate. Tom McNamara Mud Hole Custom Tackle [www.mudhole.com] Phone: (407) 277-0099 Re: Outcast blanks
