BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted September 3, 2015 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder what the definition of "same" is? I wondered the same thing. Then in February I called and talked to Bob at RodGeeks for nearly an hour about their blanks and the similarity to ST. Croix. What I brought away from that conversation was this...the engineering is nearly the same but not identical. Their tapers and transitions are slightly different because they think they have come up with a better design. I happen to agree with it. I have built less than 100 rods so I'm no expert, but for my personal builds I use Rod Geeks 75% of the time. I like certain blanks from MHX, Batson, and Castaway, but with the option of custom paint on a "nearly" identical rod for less money, it's hard to pass on the C4 blanks. 1 Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted September 3, 2015 Super User Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder what the definition of "same" is? not the same as St. Croix SCIV blanks but made from similar materials and was designed by St. Croix , so in effect it is not a rebranded SCIV blank ... Quote
