I bought this blank quite a few weeks ago and made up the rod (intended for use on big rainbows) gradually. I used a favourite type of Fuji screw reel fitting and lined, single-leg Fuji-type rings. The resulting rod is light, very transportable (on account of the 4-piece blank) and powerful. I use a stiff-arm casting style, and single-haul, and this is exactly the type of blank/rod which is appropriate.. I finally got round to putting on a reel and testing the resulting rod rod today: my verdict is that this is a rod I can fish with comfortably ,and - possibly more importantly - can really throw a long line with when needed. It pushed out a WF 8 with ease, and my feeling is that with a shooting head (as opposed to a standard fly line) it would really chuck a fly to kingdom come. I look forward now to actually using it on water (as opposed to my own back garden) and testing it on a few fish. I have recently been on a salmon fishing holiday to Alaska - this is the sort of weapon I would take there - with total confidence that it would handle lively double-figure fish with ease. Tremendous blank!Read full review

This is a good fast action blank with a really quick recovery, that is not stiff and insensitive. Action is fast to medium fast. It bends smoothly and evenly down to 2/3-3-4 of the blank when you apply more pressure, with little or no flat spots. Beyond 2/3 down the powerful bottom takes over and it seems you can apply large amounts of power to put pressure on large/strong fish. The build quality seems really good, and the wall thickness is even all the way around. Personally I will fish this with a 9wt line
