Still no blank. This is the last time I will deal with NFC. I emailed a couple times asking for a different/similar blank, just give me something you stock....nothing. I was told a month ago that my order was in processing for the replacement blank. No wonder so many companies use blanks made in China.

update as of 2-15 I got an email. No eta. None in stock. Waiting for a few poor suckers to order the sb724 before I get one. I understand that they build when so many get ordered. Thing is I offered to take another blank if I could get one sooner.

2 spinning and 2 baitcasting rods. What are you building and why?

Just finished a 6'8" rod geeks c3 mxf jerkbait rod paired with a lews custom lite. Total build is 8-5/8" ounces!

I get all of that but 5 of the same email to different people at edge/nfc for the warranty claim. Then 3 days later a email stating I am getting a new blank and then no eta, nothing. I've messaged 3 times. They could tell me a month or June. I really don't care. I just want to know. I also offered to take a different blank or a refund. It isn't about the product, it's about customer service. I've had other blanks fail that are way harder to get my hands on IE point blank. There service was good enough that I purchased more of them. NFC MSRP is a joke. Just name a realistic price and be done with all the non-sense BS sales and promo codes. How much does it costs them to run these sales every 3rd week with a different name? Maybe use that person that clicks the computer to answer a few emails and set your pricing accordingly.

Thank you. I figured after I asked about getting a replacement that wasn't my exact order just something in stock and never heard back maybe something else was going on. We should start a pole to see when everyone thinks my replacement will come! This will be my last order. I like the idea of having the customer order the blank themselves.

Ordered 3 blanks on black friday sale, week or two before. Got them 1st week or so of January. Had a blank break upon inspection/load testing. After sending the same email to 5 different people (guess they don't forward emails there?) I get a response 3 days later that they are sending a replacement. I asked when....no answer. I asked again Monday....no answer. Send an email today.......crickets? What is wrong with this place? I've ordered two times and both times had quality issues. At least the first time they sent me a rod right away. I even told them I'd take a different in stock rod if this isn't available.....no answer? Guess they don't want me to use there products anymore?

Anyone use these blanks? I see anglers workshop has them. I did built a couple spinning rods from there mb series and liked them. Very light weight and sensitive. Rating wise I feel they can handle more than rated though. I have a sj here I'd like to build.

A guy I work with has had a few Daiwa rods with those guides. Every rod has had a guide issue. NFC ones look similar/same. No thanks as of now.

tape should work and if you epoxy over it all it'll be waterproof.

yes power wise. As we know the 7' ml if more of a medium rod with the ccs data but does seem to cast 1/8 ounce well. The 7' light feels almost the same in hand and while fishing. Love them both.

We have now Point blanks in 6'6 light, 7' light, 7' medium light. They are all awesome. All built as spinning rods with KLH guides. There is a noticeable difference in the 6'6 light to the 7' ml but the 7' light is just a touch under the 7' ml. They all have there place. The 6'6 is my favorite spinning rod right now.

I've been building for about 10 years. I've used blanks from St. Croix, Northfork (Gary Loomis), Phenix, MHX, Batson and Point blank...to name a few. For anything with bottom contact nothing is even comparable to my points. My son who was 11 at the time couldn't believe how much better it was than his Northfork X-ray. Fishing same line, same jigs, same weight, etc. We now have 4 point blanks....all setup for finesse spinning. MickD sent me down this worm hole!!!!

Currently I am in love with my 6'6" light power point blank. Setup in a spinning configuration paired with a 2000 tatula reel. Super sensitive and light.

I hear so much about NRX rods. Never fished one. I have built on a few Northfork blanks and even a couple xray blanks. Honestly none of them feel as good as my point blanks. I find the jump from say a $80 blank to a $150 blank is usually small...then I fished the point. Feels different, casts different. I'd love to try one of these $550 nrx rods.
