I have been very pleased with two different models of their Steelhead Blanks and two different models of their Kokanee/Trout Blanks which I have used for walleye and crappie rods.

No experience with the Fly blanks but have been very happy with their Bass blanks (particularly their swimbait blanks) and recently got some steelhead blanks to build a couple float rods for steelhead and crappie. Both of my orders they have turned around within a few days and no issues with any of the blanks I received.

If they are anything like the old Rogue Rod patterns, they are a nice blank to fish with, many times they won awards from Alaska Magazine and others for their salmon/steelhead fly rods and gear rods for the same species. Like many awards they did not depend on new offerings only to compare for their articles.

I have only fished one Rogue fly rod, an 8 wt. it fished very well and was easy to use, no learning curve needed to get good results. If I had to pick another rod series that was similar it would be the G Loomis reintroduction of IMX or the AllStar Austin series from years ago.
