Haven't built on those blanks, but I've finished some factory and 1 custom, both were pretty nice rods. One of our local competition bass anglers I've fished with swears by the factory rods.

Competitors rods - blanks. I guess it is what you are looking for. Each competitor has each own rating. I build off 2 NW blank companies, depending on what I am looking for or if I can modify the bank to meet my needs. The guys I deal with will also help in redesigning a blank to meet my individual needs, this is also a factor. First you have to understand blank construction and its materials and work with that.

That series is a IM6 G1000 fast action blank. What kind of info do you need and what kind of fishing i are you looking to do? What I know is just general knowledge. It is a great blank for a fast tip action,great for bait, vary sensitive, good power in the butt. a lot of design and testing went in to it. At the Lamiglas show last AP. I built a IM6 5wt fly blank G1000. That rod can punch a line where I want it. Sorry no fish yet.

You might also try Josh at Lamiglas he is their new designer, Josh took over when Todd left. Not saying any thing wrong about Todd, but MH has some new rod designs, designed by Todd. MH does have a good off shore product
