What is the story on these blanks Fiber Star Composites
Anybody have any experience with them? They seemed to have slipped under my (and most other's) radar. Obviously a smaller company with less marketing presence.

They have 3 versions a 1266, 1266x, and 1266w (all 2 piece) that use different modular graphites.
10' 6" with an action that tries to reduplicate an Allstar 1266 (med fast?....not a rod I am familiar with)
They weigh 6.5 oz, which puts them in the same general range as the CTS rods.

How does it compare to the CTS line. Is it faster than a VT 2-4 but softer than a PJ1006? Is it like a Loomis 1266?
How do the three different versions compare to each other?

I'm looking for something lighter and a bit but not too much faster than a GSB1201M that will throw 1-3 spinning all night without wearing me out, yet still have the stopping power of something more than a GSB1201L , VT 1-3, or Stealth 10 ( more in line with the 1M).
