Added some NFC SM LMX series blanks provided by Mick that he had received directly from NFC. Some I believe are duplicates but also some new blanks added into list. Over 1000 entries now. Keep 'em coming. The more info the better and more useful when hunting for blanks. Don't forget that there is value in adding factory rods to the list.

Good to see NFC adding CCS data with the info for one of their new blanks, the X-ray C602 SJ 703. Kudos to NFC. I encourage all manufacturers to do the same. Keep that info coming. I added this blank into our ever growing database.

Without having to read the good Dr.'s dissertation on the matter, is there a simple legend for the different parameters? I know AA is action and ERN is power, but what is the IP, etc...? Also, is this something I can setup relatively easy without having to mar the wife's pretty walls? I still contend this will never catch on with the off the shelf rod manufacturers but, as I stated before, I see value in it for my own builds as I can measure rods that I love and duplicate them, hopefully.

Thanks!

In further reading it seems IP and ERN both have to do with power?

IP is the weight in grams that it takes to deflect the blank to 1/3 its length. ERN, which is also a measure of power is a derived number (by Hanneman) to give guidance to fly fishermen as to which line would likely work best for a certain power rod. It is not linear with respect to IP because the standard weights of the lines are not "linear." There is a different number of grams between an 8 and 9 weight line than between a 3 and a 4, for example.

Three things are consistent,=: The higher the ERN, the higher the power. The higher the IP, the higher the power. And for each and every value of IP there is only one value of ERN.

Dr. Hanneman came up with the CCS process with the emphasis on fly while realizing that it would work for any blank/rod.

It is possible to do accurate CCS testing without the big wall. If you email me I can show you what I have. I correlate well with a couple blank makers and a number of builders.

I suggest you do read the good Dr.'s dissertation. You will come away with a much better understanding of the process and of blanks/rods than just getting the answer to one question.

Will it catch on? Point Blank has published data for years, and other makers use it but haven't yet gotten to the point of publishing it all. NFC , it appears, is jumping in based on the publication of CCS data on their last few introductions. If we keep pushing we might get to the point of all publishing. If we continue to accept what I call the "wine label" and "crap shoot" subjective specs without a peep, then no, they will keep on with the crap shoot.

Michael, I’ll read it all eventually. I sent you an email. No hurry, just whenever you have some time. Thanks!

Reached out to Batson and got some additional info that they had on some of their Immortal series. Added those into Spreadsheet. Also, Batson indicated they would be publishing info on new releases of Fly or high end freshwater blanks.

Also added another new addition to the NFC lineup that has CCS data published. A blank in their Fly series called the LMX FAF763-4.

Great to see manufacturers providing this info. Keep it coming.

Below is a list of all the new blanks added:

Kevin, once again I want to say what a great job you're doing with keeping the data base current. Taking it upon yourself to reach out to different manufacturers is next level. Definitely above and beyond kind of stuff

And for anyone considering some of the recently added blanks, I built a rod on an Immortal IMMC73ML blank. It's is an excellent blank. If you're looking to build a rod that does a lot of things really really well, it would be one to consider. Sensitivity is outstanding, and it casts baits in in its listed weight range, extremely well. I use mine for tube jigs, light Texas rigs, 3/8 oz and under spinnerbaits and smaller 4" and under swimbaits.

@Logan Summers... Any chance you have measurements for the XX Brailist?

Joel, go to the data base at [docs.google.com]

Click on the "CCS Database" button at the bottom, and open the data base. Sooner or later if you're seriously into building you will want to be able to search the data base for blanks you are interested in.

Watch the "How to video" by clicking on its liink.

Hi Michael, I downloaded the database to look at the various blank specs. I noticed the Braillist wasn't listed, so was curious if any has every measured it.

I've built quite a few rods over the past two years since taking up the craft. This site and others have proven very helpful and education in the process.

got it, I thought you had not yet known about the data base and how to use it.

Hi Joel - I have not measured a Braillist, that is a model I never owned....But I have fished with one. I could make an educated guess on it based on my experience with other MB rods. I'd say it will be very similar to the 1st Gen XX EMTF, though slightly more powerful. AA is probably the same or close.

Sooo - I'd guess 800 to 850 for IP and 75ish for the AA. Without measuring I can't say for sure, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't at least close to those numbers.

3 more to add...

Rainshadow Immortal IMMC76MH-TC: IP = 1000g, AA = 70deg
Rainshadow Immortal IMMC76H-TC: IP = 1150g, AA = 70deg
Rainshadow Immortal IMMC76XH-TC: IP = 1200g, AA = 70deg

I checked the H and XH several times because of how close they were, they really are that close - only 50g apart in IP. I had 2 XH blanks to measure and both were consistent at 1200g

...and 2 more since my NFC order just arrived

NFC Delta CB705 Hybrid Zentron: IP = 650g, AA = 80deg
NFC Delta CB706 Hybrid Zentron: IP = 1000g, AA = 80deg

@ Michael Tarr, did you mean to list your Delta Hybrid as a 705? Looks like you might have measured a 706? (Or been sent a 706?)

Added the Rainshadow and NFC blanks that Logan posted 4/4 and 4/10.

Everyone keep em coming. Over 1000 and growing. Again, if anyone has several they want to add goto the Spreadsheet and download a copy. One of the tabs on the spreadsheet is a blank template. You can fill that out and email to the address on the spreadsheet and it'll come to me. I'll add them to our list.
