Bill,
I was looking at these blanks as well.
I have seen some prior posts about them, but haven't seen one in person.
If you find one or hear about them, let me know.
Thanks much
Roger

For $40 just order one and see for yourself. It's not much money at all and it's better than relying on anyone else. Worst case is you aren't crazy about it and you spent $40

I picked up the 6' 2 piece at the expo. I'm just starting to build it so I can't offer much input. I will say that I wouldn't call the action fast.... it's more of a moderate action. It seems to have decent backbone for such a lightweight rod.

Thanks for your input Jody I have several mod-fast / med fast blanks I already got. I like the fast way or fast casting stroke and should have never even looked at any thing below fast.

But then with all the hype the only thing that really tells you the line that belongs on any blank is CCS At 30 foot off the tip

But again it is in the feel that a caster likes Which can vary greatly

If you can put some CCS numbers on that puppy. Just for jokes and laughs

I'm pretty new at this so you lost me with CCS. If it's something I can do easily I'll gladly give it a shot but I'll need an explanation. Also, I am building this as a spinning outfit, not a fly rod.

This is the System that when done correctly will be able to tell a builder what fly line - and - what lure will work well with any blank.

I'll take a look. Thanks.
