I'm pretty far away from the US, and am wondering if some of you US builders have had the chance to try these blanks out lately. I'm keen on ordering a few, but can't find any feedback on them yet, other that they are as light as a feather.

Any feedback, on any of these blanks would be deeply appreciated.

They were at the Expo last year and had quite a selection on hand. I haven't personally had a chance to use them, but I know others who have and they rave about them.

I've built five of them for customers. Each one was very well received and one customer ordered another one as soon as he picked up the previous one I built for him. All were 7'6'' rods that built right at or under three ounces.

The blanks are in stock. I've posted a link below to the models and specs.
