I am thinking about building a cabelas FT rod in a seven weight. And was wondering if anybody had used this blank before and if they were happy with it. or in general what people thought of cabelas higher priced rods. thanks
I haven’t had the honor yet but know a few foks tha have and their comments have all been good…of course, I don’t necessarily associate the price of the blank with it’s performance. I have found some outstanding blanks that made super fishing rods for little front end investment. I have several “high dollar” smaller wt rods that would give anyone sticker shock to look at them and one of my go-to 3 wt’s is an Elkhorn that I built a couple of years ago…great aesthetics and performance that is outstanding. One of my favorite 5 wt’s for tailwater fishing is built on a Forecast blank. There have been many many times when I have fished them and left the others sitting in the shop stacked in the corner with the rest of them!!
