I love Allstar blanks. I recommend them all the time. However , I don't care what Allstar's catalog says. Like most manufacturers catalogs , they don't always reflect reality.

Look at the Allstar 1265. The catalog says a 1265 is rated to 1.5 max. In fact , its about the best 2 OZ rod anywhere by any manufacturer. If you went by their specs , you'd never even try it at 2 to 3OZ where it shines.

Forget the catalogs. Build them and fish them yourself , that's how you get to know your rods and rod blanks.
