Hi Jim,

I have not built on the blanks from rod-blanks. com, however since Forecast doesn't make the 721-2 any longer, I believe the blanks I built from C&M Customtackle are probably the same as you got. It should throw a 6/7 line. I also think that the 720-1 butt diameter and the 721-2 which you bought are going to spec out to be very similar. These rods definitely have thick butts, but the tapers are really good for such a low cost blank and I think you'll like this rod allot.

These are really unique in that they have just the right amount of flex to work well as fly rods, but are definitely not noodles by any means. You would be hard pressed to find a 6' 5-7 wt rod in graphite that wasn't a broom stick.

HTH,

Lou
