I recall all of the buzz about CTS when they first hit the streets and then as I understand it they ran into some sort of production/delivery problems.. What is the word on them? Is there anyone out there still using them? I have an early blank that I picked up from Andy and it is still my absolute favorite spinnerbait rods. I do have to say, the blank that I have which I don't recall the exact model # right now is very light, well balanced and imo very sensitive.Might pick up another along the way just to give it a shot.

Thomas;
You can still purchase them from Scott Parsons “Fish Sticks†[www.fishsticks.us] Was in his shop last week and he had some in stock and can order anything else you want. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/29/2010 10:43PM by Steve Gardner. Re: CTS

Good evening Steve
nice to hear from ya! I know that you enjoy the rx8+ quite a bit. Do you know of anyone using CTS for bass fishing or have you tried them? It has been quite some time since I got mine. I think that it has been something like 5 years or so. Re: CTS

I have two personals
1 for spinner baits that was built to my specs, and the other is a shaky head setup that was sent to me as a proto type for a drop shot blank they were working on, I found it a tad to stiff for that and use it for the shaky head. They eventually went with a slightly different blank for drop shotting, and I have built several on that blank for doing so. But I personally prefer the RX822.5+ for drop shotting. Re: CTS

Steve,
thanks for the feedback!! I am looking to put a couple of new pitchin sticks in the lineup as that seems to encompass most of what I have been doing here in the local waters besides crankin. thanks Tom Re: CTS

I've not built on a CTS for pitching. But had a blank in my hands at Scotts that had me thinking that direction. Re: CTS

I have a CTS I use for dropshotting and havent found anything that compars to it. Its a Elite Bait Tournament 161026 built with Fuji Titanium singe leg spinning guides. A bit pricey set up but very nice. Give Fishsticks a call Scott can help you out. Mike Thompson Thompson's Custom Rods It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious!

Does this mean CTS is currently able to ship blanks in a timely fashion? Or does one have to wait a long time if the desired blank is not in stock? Re: CTS

I'm going to find out if things have improved, I have one on order. The last time I ordered it took around 8 or 9 months to get. Not trying to scare anybody off. Re: CTS

Steve,
I appreciate you getting in contact with Scott, for me. I would have posted sooner however the snow over here in VA kept me quite busy to say the least yesterday. I know that I will certainly be checking them out at the show for sure if Scott brings them. Re: CTS

Thomas, I'm not exactly sure which Blank Steve is referring to, but I will have all of the CTS that I have in stock at the show. Thanks Re: CTS

FANTASTIC!!!!! Look forward to doing some business with you! Do you happen to have a current inventory of what you have on hand electronically? I looked on the site but didn't find them.
Thanks, Tom Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
