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).
numbskull, You can email me if you have any questions. If your looking for real world experiance with my blanks ask on some of the other forums there are many using the rods.

The blanks are made in the USA and in Woodland and not by Lamiglas! There are at least 8 graphite rollers in Woodland alone besides it doesn't matter who makes them really. They are of my design and made under a private label exclusive contract!

Ron, it was good talking to you on Tues. hope to hear from you again! Take care.
