Yes but not the most recent ones. Hopefully Spencer will see this. He does quite a bit with Lamiglass if I recall correctly

Phil, they are not “old” issues. They are continually ongoing, unfortunately people like their products. My last order was partially fulfilled with one blank after two months. I am still waiting on the rest. Lynn my apologies to you and Tom if I spoke out of context.

So are we to turn a blind eye to the obvious? I can understand why he doesn’t want all the negativity and that is why I offered up suggestions for other options. But in all honesty we can all agree there is definitely a problem. This site is to aid and help each other and I believe we represent very well. It is my personal opinion they do not perform to the level of our other fine sponsors. Tom s

Michael hit the nail on the head. Phenix blanks are still above even the X-ray. Batson still has the Eternity for a while till they run out and release the new series in July. You have RodGeeks offering their top end scv’s from Croix ( their customer service is beyond reproach. I had an issue today that they helped me out with). Lamiglass is doing some good things and don’t forget point blank or

I am not trying to take away anything from their performance, quite the opposite in fact. It’s just a very unusual way that they operate.

Love their products, hate how you get treated. Communication is lousy, shipping is worse...... yeah I know change blanks. Thankfully there is Batson!

I wonder why we still have them as a sponsor? Especially since Tom is aware of how crummy their customer service is.

Jason I have heard claims of the E2 series being built by both St. Croix as well as NFC. Honestly to me it doesn’t matter who makes it. I will tell you that its certainly one of my most favorite blanks of all time. I too have the NFC HMMB705. The HM and E2 certainly don’t fish the exact same. Close yes, but I’m my hands I prefer the E2 all day long. I have both blanks built the same regarding

Well I have got to agree with Steve on a number of his choices. SHX764. The best ever created (often imitated never duplicated) for flip n pitch Honestly I really liked almost the entire Shikari line up. Swimjig, sort of stumbled on this one by accident but the Eternity2 Etec76mh is the best I’ve tried for that bait. Plenty of power wonderful tip and have yet to dump a fish on it in over
