Nice work as always. I like the 11' 6" size as that is what I mostly fish in the salt these days. Do you know if that blank comes in a 7wt? Oh and is that blank silver?
I can definitely answer that one actually- I’m about to post a picture of my build on the same blank and I talked in detail with CTS before I ordered it.
CTS has their standard 2h glass blanks listed as 11’6” #6 and 12’ #7, but the grain weights they’re designed for are about 400-500 for the 11’6” and 450-550 for the 12’. Which for me and most people I know make them a more of a 7wt and 8wt respectively.
Shane is totally right about the makers’ design philosophies- both are great rod but the two styles feel very different.
