Has anyone used Rod Forge blanks?

Haven't built one but I fished a 7 ft. heavy inshore last month for a short time, nice well finished blank, just what you would expect from a quality company.

I bought (4) blanks at the 2023 EXPO. The blanks were as follows: 1 - NSB-70MF, 1 - NSB70MH Fast, and 2 - 7' prototype blanks that are very similar to the 7' NSB MH Fast.

I measured up the Common Cents System ratings and added to the CCS database for the two standard factory blanks. Can find that info here: [www.rodbuilding.org] or directly on spreadsheet here: [docs.google.com]

Since then they have added High Modulus models to their lineup (the HTD series) and I believe are working on additional models. They also can factory paint (I believe at no extra cost) the blanks in a pretty wide selection of colors which is pretty cool. I believe one of the company founders was previously behind Rodgeeks if I'm not mistaken.

The 7' MF I made into a spinning setup (all-around Bass spinning) as a graduation gift for my nephew and he likes it and the 7' MH and prototypes I made up into Casting setup to use as an all-around Bass setup. Liking all of them thus far.

I'm definitely interested in others feedback and if others have taken CCS measurements on other models please add them into that CCS Data thread linked above as I'd be interested in how they compare with other brands.

In a nutshell been happy with the (4) blanks I picked up at 2023 ICRBE. Good to see another American made brand in the market.

The Rodgeeks influence is apparent in their marketing. Good blanks with custom colors available is a boom for me.

I've ordered a few but haven't fished them yet. Paint jobs are flawless and actions feel nice. From order to delivery was about a week, pretty darn good. Another nice thing is the pricing on the blank is the total you'll pay. There isn't any additional charge for the color or shipping.
