I'm about to build my 4th rod on this blank. I currently have an 8 and a 9 weight, and alas stupidly broke another 9 weight due to my own fault (they are warrantied but this was user error). I build these up with PacBay minima single foot guides. I find they cast very well without overlining, but can certainly handle a line weight over if you want. My 8 weight has caught hundreds of stripers with no issues. I used my 9 weight (the older blue with 2 tips) on juvie tarpon in tight quarters and it has plenty of backbone to fight whatever you hook. I'll be ordering a 10 now to replace the 9 I broke, just a little more guts for tarpon. For the price of these blanks I can't rationalize getting anything else. I've flyfished since the 60s and these do everything I could ask for.

I built this 6 months ago and only tried it for the first time this week. I paired it with a Wychwood connect rocket taper #7F. I was really pleased with the way it casts and with the action of the blank and it did everything I asked of it. In fact it made my mediocre casting look rather good. I would highly recommend this blank.
