They've gotten mixed reviews on this and some other boards. Their main selling point would seem to be durability rather than performance. I haven't used them so don't go by what I say though.

I have built a few for myself and friends and LOVE it. They are no where the lightest or strongest. That in my book goes to Graphite USA. But I really do like the 7' live bait. That soft but right feel is
hard to get. One thing for the heads up, it is not easy to wrap the guides if you want BIG spinning tackle since the guide feet may be smaller than the space you are allowed. If you like me who target
sailfish, football tuna, amberjack, etc. with spinning tackle. There is really no better spinning life bait tackle rod in the 25lb class that cape fear for me.

Good fishing (catching) <*)))))))><{

Mud Hole has all the Cape Fear blanks available on-line in our web site (link on left). I would agree with Dorge, that their live bait banks have the most interesting feel to it, very soft tip with a very stiff back to it. A practical live bait blank but a totally different feel than a Calstar or Seeker.
