alexit Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Anyone out there built up a fly rod? I want to put together a 10# to pull next seasons kings from the harbour structure. I have put together a few spin rods to date with great results and now want to go that next step... I have a 7# struddie 9" 3 piece that lives in a nice box I made so best of all worlds I would like the 10# to also be 9" and 3 piece so they can all bed down in the same box Any info on blanks would be most welcome...I don't want to spend a heap... alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Peter Campbell a call at strudwick they distribute some awesome blanks from their OEM manufacturer in NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jewel Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I have heard reports of a lot of the current Struddie rods having a lot of tip breakage issues, which is unfortunate as the older ones were rather nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all graphite, breakage is an issue but it is usually dependant on size and quality like all blanks the lighter, cheaper ones are always more prone to breakage but the CTS blanks struddie sell and use in their upper end ranges are some of the best quality high mod blanks around.If your not keen to front the cost for quality US rolled graphite its been my experience the NZ stuff is a very close second.
