I just finished setting up the rod blank for the reel seat and cork handle, guides etc.Before I epoxy everything together I noticed that the rod name and line weight is covered by the cork grip is this normal for an inexpensive imported blank just curious.I never noticed this before on any of the other blanks where the information is usually above my cork grip.Can I expect this on all other imports I purchase in the future.

I think where that stuff gets located is just up to the manufacturer and has little if anything to do with what worldwide location it is made in. I never liked the info being printed on the blank because it often gets covered up. I like decals so I can put them where I want them. I doubt the manufacturer has any idea what kind or what length handle you are going to put on the blank.
