I have fished/handled many models of the commercial euro rods- examples: 1. Syndicate P2 $325 2. Diamondback Ideal Nymph $525 3. Redington Strike $300. 4. T&T Contact 2 $825. 5. Cortland Nymph $300. I'm looking to start building some custom euro nymph rods for myself and my friends as a hobby. I see many blanks available from other companies - examples: 1. CTS Euro X 10.5ft 2wt $315 2. NFC 11ft 2wt $125 3. GB Fly Shop 10ft 2wt $60 4. Proof Fly Fishing 10ft 3/4wt $85. I have no experience/knowledge of how these rod blanks bend/perform/protect tippet/load on cast with different size flies and I'm unable to find any substance online so far. I'm hopeful there might be folks on here who have fished both commercial and custom euro nymph rods who could give some perspective/guidance to compare them or just generally how they fish as a euro rod so I have something to go on as to which blanks might be a good fit for my builds? Thank you! Re: Euro Nymph Rods (Comparing Blank Options)

I fished a 11 ft. CTS 3 wt. euro rod for 3 days, most in my group were using 6 to 8 wt. rods for the same fish, I caught trout to 5 lbs. in some pretty decent current, a brilliant rod. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
