Re: What Questions would you have for a new rod company

Mine would be:
Why are you using any handle product other than cork?
Why are you making split grips only?
Why would you consider using any other components but Fuji?

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD

I can’t stop buying these things. And tack on new bearings and RCS knobs each time, this is adding up.

Re: St Croix 68mxf vs 610mxf?

I have also had this question, but I never found the answer.

I do know because of this I have bought 3 Legend Elite 68mxf's, and no 610mxf.

Re: first-time rod builder questions

Get in on that NFC 50% off sale and get the HM blanks for a little more than $100. Can't beat it right now.

Re: North Fork Composites

This is a killer deal if you can wrap your own rods. I got away from it for a couple years, but this sale is too good to pass up.

Have not heard of a bad review yet about the NFC blanks.

Re: needing advice on NFC HM blanks ASAP

I ordered up a couple HM 705 blanks. Does anyone have a good spacing guide to use for these? Worst case I'll go by a couple 7' rods I already have in Loomis and St. Croix. Was going to buy a new GLX rod, but with the 50% off blank sale I can build practically the same rod for $230-$240. Can get 2 ro...

Re: How Do You Keep Your Fishing Closet Organized?

Make a rod rack as #1 priority. Then get some big plastic boxes and start the organization process for lures and plastics. Finally, get a couple of those cabelas padded reel cases with the padded dividers, and you can store about a dozen reels in each case. They can stack right along side the bait b...

Re: New Dobyns Champion XP 744C

So what is the consensus on this one? Looking for a football jig and 10" worm rod myself. Can't store rods over 7'6"

Re: ICast preview, look at new GLX

ST Croix and Loomis appear incapable of building a rod how people might want them!. I suppose they have to make it look appealing on the shelf, which is what leads to daft colours and weird handle builds, but the very way they build them puts me off buying them.
