I mean I guess I wouldn’t call it drastic or abrupt funny thing I have a shimano slx rod that has something very similar going on. Like I said I was just curious I’m rather new it’s the first time I’ve purchased from them and didn’t know. I don’t think it’s enough to really cause any significant malfunction or lack of performance. Everyone saying it’s somewhat normal is a little more comforting

So I read the other post about this topic where the guy said some pretty nasty stuff about the manufacturer and I want to be clear I’m I’m in no way trying to convey its a bad product or I’m not happy with it. I love it I think it’ll make a great rod I was just taken back by the curvature in the blank.

But of course I can post pictures nobody asked until you

Okay well like I said I own the blank I’m looking at the blank I’m 26 years old my eyes are perfect I can see it clear as day bud, I don’t need to prove anything to you. I would not badmouth a company to just badmouth a company, which in if you read I’m not even doing in the first place! I’m happy with the blank for the most part I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue/experience.
Forum: rodboard

And I’m pretty new to this so I’m sorry If I’m offending anyone with this post especially the manufacturer.

I’m not trying to start a argument with somebody who believes a company doesn’t have to produce products that are expected to be one way and in reality aren’t and that’s fine, like I said the blank feels good and I like it. But I can’t see how this won’t affect performance when I have guides going in a straight line and then the last 4 or 5 shoot off in a weird direction because of where the spin
Forum: rodboard

Nearly straight isn’t straight. Again I’m not bad mouthing anyone here the blank feels great but it’s more than a 2 inch bend it jets off pretty drastically. I understand sight lines and the eyes can play tricks but there’s just no way around this.
Forum: rodboard

Mine is straight through most of the blank but when it gets to a little before the tip it starts going all wonky, I mean I know it’s not the end of the world but I paid a good amount of money for this blank.
Forum: rodboard

Has anybody else bought a blank from north fork and the blank is not straight by any means?
Forum: rodboard

Ohhhhh I gotcha okay cool thanks man!!
Forum: rodboard

I just ordered a crb exposes blank blank reel seat and I’m. Curious as to how you go about getting it fitted correctly to the blank with no gaps. They only came in one size. Is it even possible or will it just not work
Forum: rodboard

Ahhhhh i seee okay thank you so much for clarifying that!!! It’s still a awesome product
Forum: rodboard

Sorry
Forum: rodboard

So it’s not really adjustable
Forum: rodboard

Has anybody used the AT adjustable grip and is it adjustable on the blank or do they just mean you can cut it to whatever size you want? Extremely confused
Forum: rodboard

I find rattle cans to be a cheap paint not trying to insult lol
Forum: rodboard

So my question is you know how some rod companies have a small colored portion just above the reel seat/locking nut between stripper guide, can this be achieved with an airbrush and does anybody have experience with this
Forum: rodboard

Hopefully nfc finally brings those colored blanks or option for painted blanks finally and hopefully hitena finally brings their blank that was teased 2 years ago
Forum: rodboard

That’s kind of what I figured that’s be sweet if batson did custom one offs but that’s no really cost effective hahah thanks man!
Forum: rodboard

Can somebody tell me if this grip is just a straight taper or does it have a swell to it the picture doesn’t really show anything And does it look like the full grip on a lews super duty
Forum: rodboard

Awesome guys great information! I’m really happy with my choice of the blank now that you guys seem to agree
Forum: rodboard

Thanks guys!!! I wasn’t too concerned but I just wanted to know if it was a huge deal
Forum: rodboard

Any problems with wrapping guides it looks like there are tiny ridges through out the blank
Forum: rodboard

Any tips or thoughts on wrapping a nfc X-ray blank with the ridges is this a big issue or just use a larger thread?
Forum: rodboard

So you said the fighting butt of a Winn grip is hard to get reamed out to fit, is it possible though???
Forum: rodboard

Thanks guys!!!! From what it sounds like it’ll be a good option
Forum: rodboard

Would a north fork composite fast glass apfg 745-1 be a good option for bladed jig rod
Forum: rodboard

Sweeet I was really hoping to hear that, I still love my pro wrap and all the others they just have some really cool colors I’d like to use
Forum: rodboard

Does anyone have experience with sulky thread? And if so does it hold a guide well or would you recommend it for accents?
Forum: rodboard

Any body have good pictures of rod geeks metallic blue finish???
