Interesting. What Point Blank model are you building on?

7'3" MHXF and the North Forks are a 736 MB Xray and a a 705 HM.

I rewrapped am original Kistler LTA pretty well exactly like that. Are you doing a simple spiral of something with a few more transition guides? The spiral I just completed on a RX7 flippin blank was in the ball park of 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180. Probably a little over kill but I think the more ...

Got the grips and reel seats mounted on the Point Blank and North Fork rods I'm currently building. I'm using Fuji ACS reel seats and the two NF rods I used CRB cork spilt grips and the CRB butt caps, the Point Blank rod got cork grips from Get Bit and honestly I'm really disappointed in the grips I...

The xray blanks I got this winter (721, 733, 736 MB and SJ) are much more crooked than blanks from Rod Geeks, Batson, and Hydra that I have recently built on. The xray blanks also have many palpable imperfections. Maybe that is par for the course for unsanded blanks, but no way is Kistler selling c...

Got the North Fork blanks in 8 days. They feel awesome just running them along my rug and then my hardwood especially the Xray blank. Excited to get them built and then my PB will be here tomorrow. How crooked is your x ray blank? The last 2 x ray blanks that I got was pretty crooked compared to th...

Well I just glanced at North Forks website and they were having a sale of $150 off per blank. So I picked up an HM and an Xray both for $250. So I'll be adding those to the build list lol. I ordered mine on Sunday the 2nd (x-ray) and just got a tracking number. Much faster than anticipated, it's he...

I have the K2 715 built with a Fuji PTS seat. The seat insert probably doesn't help the sensitivity, but it is not worth the price in my opinion. It is sensitive, but not NRX sensitive. Some of the old threads on here say that the lighter blanks are more sensitive, but brittle. The 715 is a great l...

So if I wanted a 3/8 to 1/2 oz texas rig rod you guys would probably go with the 715? I was looking to at the 714 and I wanted to add some to the butt to get it around 7'4".

YES. DEFINITELY. ABSOLUTELY. They are also lighter. Just know they are not a true fast. More of a slow fast, but not a true moderate fast. The powers also run upwards to a full half power less than what the label suggests. Extremely crisp blanks, very lively... I can't say enough good things. The b...

Hey guys I was curious if a K2 is truly comparable to the higher end rod sensitivities like the ones I listed? I want to start getting into higher end rods and I like building mine a lot but if I'm not able to achieve the level of rod like a NRX by building I'd rather just buy one.

Thanks Jacob

I was actually just looking at a Gambler on boat trader. What is everyone's opinion of an older Ranger or Nitro? I also found this one that's about an hour and a half away.
