CTS Blanks

[kmw21230]

Ok, the CTS blanks have been on the streets for about a week,,, Who has one? What do you guys\gals think about them?

[basstardo]

I'm probably going to take a ride up to visit the guys selling them this weekend. I plan on checking them out while I'm there. I'm very curious what the final product is like as well.

Bass,

May see you there, as I am making the trip as well on Fri/Sat!;)

I think another order has already been placed!

[basstardo]

Cool! I'll be heading up Saturday if Ray is going to be there. I still need to call them and find out if anyone will be around.

Ray is there now if you want to give him a call. I'll be stopping by there in an hour so and can let you know what they have left in stock on the CTS surf blanks.

K-Man,

Are you actually going to build a rod from scratch? ;) If so, drop me a line...

Me build a rod?? LOL! No freaking way.. I have no interest in learning how to build a rod... Plus, if I did I wouldn't wanna learn on a $300 blank.. :)

I haven't thrown one, but looked at them a bit down at the High Point show last week. Pretty rod, very nice finish. Loads all the way to the reel seat though, a slow throwing/loading rod, I would say. Will get a chance to throw one soon.

there are some tackleshops that occasionally sell their blanks for cheap.

you can find like 5-20$ blanks to learn on.
maybe build some. and give them away as freebies for the kids or something.

Nice ain't it!

I had a feeling the 3-6 would be a cannon as a spinning rod! I loved throwing 5 oz on it while testing, and it also smoked 6oz as well. Didn't put 7oz on it, but I'm sure it would work! :D

It will throw 10oz just fine! Heck I threw 14oz with the 8-10oz blank!

[taskmongo]

I picked up a 3 to 6 in High Point and taped it up as a conventional and it will smoke 4 but likes 5 a little better. Can't wait to get it wrapped and really put some power to it. (And it's pretty and blue too.)

[kmw21230]

I also had a 3-6 picked up.. can't wait to have it built. i plan to put a ABU BY on it with 14lb test..

[the rustyhook]

Hey 87, very lite for a big stick. I think you will love it.

When I was out comparing everything I was throwing 5.

[billr87]
