Hey Farmer Bob- I have heard good reports about the DC blanks. I envision a Sage, Loomis, TFO and other blanks coming in the future and will keep my mind open for others' suggestions. I went with this H&H kit first - mainly for cost- and after fishing it last nite feel pretty good about it. Definitely a keeper and a keep it with me in the truck rod for those frequent and spontaneous stops on the way home.

I have a hat I wear every day that gives me the title "Farmer Steve"- about 50 Katahdin sheep, Nubian goats, Muscovies, Guineas, chickens, etc. think of me as "the food guy" though, lol!

just-Steve

I fish, therefore I swam.
