The new NEO blank? I haven't heard of this yet. Aleks, what exactly does NEO mean? Definitely peaked my interest.

Thank you for any information you can provide.

David,

Here is the NEO link, it has more information.

In short, it’s a medium heavy that we added last week that will take a lot of abuse like high sticking and boat flipping and do that “forever” it is arguably one of the most durable and yet all-purpose sticks we have made.

Aleks,

Thank you for posting. The NEO and SJ703 are both interesting.

Side question...what is the current lead time on an X-Ray blank order with all that is going on?

Mike,

NEOs, X-ray blanks are in stock, I would estimate a couple of days from order to shipment (and that is dependent on FedEx pickup) with all that is happening. Feel free to shoot info@northforkcomposites.com an email for a specific model - that’s monitored 24/7.

Best,
Aleks

Aleks, thank you very much for the response, and link. That's a blank that I am sure will receive a lot of interest from bass tournament anglers. I know a few guys that would put the claim of it not breaking if it's high sticked, to the ultimate test. lol

Thanks again.

Recently place an order to check out the newly released SJ703 blank. I'm currently building a LMX P-703 & P-704 and really like how those blanks feel in the hand. Look forward to checking out this X-Ray blank and see how they feel (first X-Ray blank).

Stay safe out there everyone. This CV-19 really @#$%& for our country and the world. Godspeed.
