Ok guys,

What is your take on the North Fork blanks? Do the appear to be similar to previous offerings by Loomis or are they the superior product that was first raved about? I am thinking about pulling the trigger for one but would like to hear some feedback from those who have built on them.

thanks,
Tom

I have only had the chance to try one and it was the MB664-1 and it was a beutiful blank. The action was great!! I wouldn't look at NFC as a new version of Loomis this is a whole new venture that hopefully will make it's own foot prints on the industry!!

From what I saw at Anglers Workshop and have heard. the blank looks great feels nice and light. Gary and Jon both saw it is a whole new design.I have not heard of any complaints, other than some saw they are to expensive. Too expensive compared to what? What is more expensive a Ford or Lamborghini?

Good Wraps Bob
