Blackhole and Bushido

Just wondering if anyone can comment on the action of the two brands listed, Blackhole seem to make Bushido blanks and I was wondering if they are similar in action. The Blackhole Cape Cod Special - Nano blanks have a slower action more suited to stickbaits compared to the 'Graphite' brothers, im interested in knowing if Bushido are again a little slower/softer like the nano

I doubt that Blackhole makes Bushido blanks. What makes you think that? Black hole does make a cheaper line in China under a different brand. All Blackhole Cape cod blanks come from Korea. I prefer the nano blanks over the graphite.

quite a few sites are advertising the fact Blackhole korea were making busido blanks, they even appear to look the same. I searched a little more and a Blackhole rep confirmed this but has stated they no longer make bushido blanks so not entirely sure whats going on now.

its seems they are not the same, bushido are by all reports softer in action so I geuss I found my answer.
