Hi,
Has anyone built or fished a rod using the rod geeks travel blank C260LF4 ? If so do you have any thoughts or impressions about it?
Thanks

I built a C266LF4. I was surprised at how sensitive it was. Blank was stunning to say the least, in the blue metallic. I used microwave spinning guides and alps reel seat. Love the 4 piece of them to make it very compact. I will build one on these blanks again.

Since the blanks are really St. Croix blanks designed by Brunner and manufactured on the identical St. Croix equipment that is found at their Park Falls Wisconsin location i'm not surprised that the travel blanks are as good as they are .

St. Croix blanks have always been known to have superb ferruling . The Rod Geeks Fresnillo Mexico location is literally an exact copy of St .Croix's main location but does offer new lines of blanks exclusive to RodGeeks along with more color options.

I built a metallic lavender C266MF2 and the fisherlady who got it just loves it! Good to hear about the C266LF4, as I am mid-build on a metallic gold C266MF4. Now if I could just find a source for a nice 4 pc. spinning rod travel tube to put it in.
