CCS data for current production ( 2011 - 2012 ) fly rod blanks

Hello,

I’m looking for CCS data for current production ( 2011 - 2012 ) fly rod blanks.
If a thread exists here that already holds this data, I haven’t unearthed it. Would you point me to it?
If not, do you know of any web based CCS data from blank manufacturers or their blank distributors and would you post a link to them here?

Thank you, Dave

I’ll kick it off with Mudhole HMX Blanks :http://www.mudhole.com/site/vendors/CRB/MHX/Common Cents for MHX Fly Rods

Didn’t check to see what updates might (or might not) have been added, but the ‘original’ site still exists: http://www.wetconcepts.com/CC_Data.htm

as does this more recent location: http://www.superbob.org/CC.htm

and this may be nothing more than a copy of SuperBob?s data (hopefully not) SexyLoops: http://www.sexyloops.com/eric/database/rodtablesorted.php

but more to the intent of your question, you can take your mouse on a walk through . . .

North Fork Composites: http://northforkcomposites.com/blog/nfc-available-blank-stats/

PacBay QuickLine: http://www.fishpacbay.com/_docs/Quickline_Spec_Sheet.pdf

MHX: http://www.fishmhx.com/Document Downloads/Common+Cents+for+MHX+Fly+Rods.pdf

and if you’ve got questions on specific blanks not otherwise listed, it might serve you well to browse through RBO. Doesn’t cost anything to read and/or Search, and someone’s always asking about a St Croix this, or a GLoomis that and getting a reply from someone who hung a bag of pennies on the same or similar blank . . . Luck !

[/i][/b](these new and improved site parameters are killing me . . . altho the top of the page shows Welcome, SMClark . . ., it took five tries to post before I was finally able to do so w/o being told to log in . . . inquiries to Contact Us haven’t been answered, so is there any other way to get my credentials reviewed for some sort of Profile error . . . ?)

Here are a few ERNs of the blanks I had in my possession:

McFarland Para 7’2" 5wt. 3pc. yellow glass rod had an ERN of 3.57
1wt. Sage SPL 8’1" 3pc. : ERN 1.6
2wt. Sage TXL-F 7’10" 4pc. : ERN 2.9
3wt. McFarland 6’9" 3pc. : ERN 1.92
3wt. FH. Paddock Lemon Drop 7’10" 3pc. : ERN 3.5

I’ve got a few Superfine Touch blanks that should be arriving next week. Both the 6’6" 3wt. 4pc. and the 8’0" 4wt. 4pc. I can test the ERN’s of both of these. I’ve also got an older version TXL 0wt. blank that I can test.

Might check with the folks over on rodbuilding.org.
