Any Feedback on Liberty Blanks

Hey guys have a buddy looking for a new spinning rod and was considering the Liberty line of blanks, seem to be a good price range for this build. Any reviews on how these blanks perform, his previous rods have been built on Bushidos and Revelation blanks. Curious if these are on the same level of performance, or abive or below. Thanks, love GetBit so figured i would consider the American made blank

I ordered the SJ703 -USA when it was 40% off and seems like a nice blank, its waiting for me to have time to build on it. if your paying full price I would jump up to the Batson.

Thanks Brian, not exactly a ringing endorsement. Appreciate the feedback - have read people really seem to like the DS700.

All is good with the Liberty blanks. They have performed up to expectations and my clients are happy with them and have bought more in different sizes.

I just built one for a local kid on his high school fishing team. (Yes, they have them.) He uses it to fish the weed beds for bass and typicaly pulling them out with lots of weeds attached. He loves it and says it perfoms far beyond what he hoped for. I've built two other spinning rods and both customers are happy with them. In all fairness, I also recommend MHX and Batson products. 5 stars for all.
