These CRB custom blanks are phenomenal, colors don't rub off when assembled with denatured alcohol and acetone. I can't believe how far they cast, and their power to bring in a big striper to the boat. I have caught a 38# striper the tip was under the boat, netted it, and I kissed the rod and the bass before I released it. No baloney. I have built over 25 of these blanks, and not one has been returned broken. They are bulletproof! I wish they still made purple blanks, many ladies have requested them. All Mudhole blanks are bulletproof.
