1. Re: NFC
Same, I ordered a blank a few weeks ago and have been trying to get hold of them for a couple quick questions and no replies. Email or over the phone.
Update: They have gotten back to me, sounds like there may have been a mix up. They've been very helpful getting what I need.

Hey everyone, looking for a 11wt blank for chasing larger tarpon and hopefully next year since GTs. Looking for a fast action and light. I know if I switch to a 12wt there are more options but I have a few production 12wts and wanted to try something a little different.
Thanks for any input!

Hey Phil, I like NFC. I've built a few of the conventional rods and like them. I've just been gun shy with some of the shipping issues I've had. Last time it took four months to get my blanks. I heard it's better now.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some options on fly rod blanks and I'm sure people are going to say it's subjective and I get that. Unfortunately I can't cast all of these blanks to see what best suites me. Hopefully there are some people with real world experience, opinions or even production rods they would compare these too.
Here's what I'm looking for

I totally understand and it's great products I'm not questioning that. I'm trying to be patient, it just would be nice for some more communication on what the hold up is or even an option to partially ship what is ready.
I just wanted to know if others were receiving there black Friday orders.

That's good, I'd accept that. Don't know why mine is taking so long. Not sure if one of the blanks is out of stock or something. No clue.

Hey everyone, I know it's generally not there strong suit but everyone that ordered stuff on Black Friday have they shipped?
I ordered mine on 11/26, 7 blanks and haven't heard anything. I send multiple emails and received one message on 12/10 about being behind and should be soon. A few weeks later nothing. I've called numerous times but have never been able to get through.
I know they'r

That's great to hear. Did you grab the SJ or the MB 736? Also do you feel its a true medium heavy or lighter? Thanks.

Thanks Thomas, their site gives me anxiety. The numbers, ratings, actions are all over the place.

Hello,
I've been racking my brain around ordering some north fork blanks during you incredible Black Friday specials. I'm having issue trying to find the right blanks. A lot of the blanks seem to have a lighter line/lure rating than I'm used to for different techniques. I've built a lot of rods on Rainshadow blanks and a few other brands and would love to take a look at NFC because of my love o

Question, not to hijack the thread but can I use a regular rod dryer and do this same process with perma gloss? I think my rod dryer is around 8 rpm.
The last cf grips I did I covered them in thread finish and it looks good but not as hard as I'd like.

Hey everyone, looking at building a swimbait rod. Saw the castaway blanks on get bit and wanted to see if anyone has built one for swimbaits.
What are your thoughts on the blank? I also can't find the weight on the rod.
Thanks

I can glue it on before putting finish on it. Was still worried if I get some epoxy on the grips from the butt cap or reel seat I could clean it with something.

Just got the phenix m1 heavy, it's gonna be a beast. Saw someone mentioned the castaway mb 805. Any opinions?

Thanks everyone. I'm putting together a rod with cfx carbon handles and was going to coat them with thread finish before gluing it to the blank. I'm sure I'll get a little epoxy on the handle and wanted to see if cleaning it with DA was a bad idea.
Forum: rodboard 8 years ago
Jason Duong
If thread finish has cured and I clean it with DA will it affect the finish?
Thanks

I've searched in the forum for some info but not a ton of opinions out there. Curious what people think of the bushido blank. How's it compare to mhx, batson revelation, hydra etc.?
Looking for 7 to 7'3" mh bass rod.
Thanks

I'd love to do it myself but living in an apartment I'm assuming it would make quite the mess.

Is there somewhere I can order custom cork grips from? Such as checker board, burnt etc.
I'd do it myself but really don't have the room in my apartment to turn cork.
Thanks.

In a recent kayak fishing tournament, I flipped the yak and lost 5 rods. I've always kicked around the thought of rod building but never got around to it but now that I need a new stable of rods I think it's time.
I've spent hours researching blanks, holy crap there's a ton of information.
Here are the rod actions/techniques I'm looking for

7' fines
