SouthBow Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hi all, Finally recieved our first shipment of rod blanks out of New Zealand. They look pretty sweet. 22 different blanks in all, ranging from a 1 through 9 wts in different actions. All 4 piece and in custom colors. Even have a few switch rod blanks & some spey too. Our premium cork arrived from Portugal last week as well as some burled rings. The rest of our compents are not far away now, we have quite abit of stock of threads, guides, reel seats etc.. Anyhow these blanks from CTS are top quality and now for sale. You can build, we can build & we will build some as shop rods for sale. Thanks, Staff at SouthBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Very cool. Will you have some demo rods to try out? I've never had a chance to cast a CST. Heard great things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDone Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 They are phenomenal blanks, have built a few rods on them, CTS themselves can be a bit difficult to deal with as they are in NZ (and sometimes seem like a world away) but the ability to choose action, length, weight and colour is a huge bonus. Looking forward to seeing what you guys have in stock. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfisher Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I built on a CTS Affinity One blank several years ago, a 9 1/2 footer in a 6wt. and use it primarily for stillwater use. It ranks tops in my rod collection for all round performance as it throws the dry line, sinkers and sink tips in different sink rates all exceptionally well! A terrific blank, and very light weight to boot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonn Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Went down yesterday and check out the new blanks, sweet. Great colors and finishes and a great assortment of weight's and lengths! Hum I think I need a new 5wt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
