Has anyone buit on them yet and any thoughts about the quality and action?

Cheers

The CCS data is on the PB website AA 66 (pretty tippy) ERN 11.8 (may need an overweight line). Please post your thoughts when you've tested it.

I've been looking at these in the lighter weights for a nymph rod. Even in the US everybody seems to be waiting for someone else to start, so you could be a groundbreaker. Nice to see the CCS data, at least it gives you a picture

Like you said I could not find any reviews about them.
We will soon find out, i have seen all the tech jargon on the Pacbay website but that means nothing to me.
I need the rod in my hand to get an idea of the action.

I will keep you posted, should be a couple of weeks to get the blank then i will get one built ASAP.

Pig in a poke again - !

Let us all know how this nice Chinese blank makes up

Best wishes

Thanks for the positive feed back as usual Steve.
Have you ever heard of constructive criticism?

I have a 10' 3/4 wt from AtomSix. Great rod.

Yep. Steve and I are developing a similar rod built totally here in the Uk. It will be very special Munro.

I can comment on the 9ft 5wt blank.

It is very light, and the 5wt was a real 5wt it did not need overlining. It worked perfectly with a snowbee xs 5wt line. Nice blank I liked it.
