MHX Blanks
Sandy Kerr:
I’m looking for a 10ft 6wt blank to build a rod for the boat. Not so easy to find CTS don’t do one. Does anyone have experience of MHX blanks. I see mixed reviews.
Steven Kidd:
No idea on this one.....but my current build is an 11ft 5wt , Bloke blank......looks real nice and has a proper through action, fairly mid-flex i'd say. worth a look for £60.
This will be my loch style boat rod for next year, :wink

Sandy Nelson:
I’ve had hit or miss with MHX
Much Prefer the Bloke blanks.
The XL50 blanks are excellent the new XGnP blanks are superb and great value too.
Micks a decent guy to deal with too and some of his kits make building easy.

The XL50 have been around for a while, and with good reason as they're good rods - and thus blanks :z16
I have had the opportunity to play with a great many of the Bloke rods at BFCC events and other 'cast what you brought' events and if I'm honest I'd really like to try the 'loch style' XL50 10'6" #6wt...... which may suit you too Sandy (Kerr) :?
Sandy Kerr:
Sandy Kerr indeed :z16
Thanks for that. I’ll have a look at Bloke blanks. Funny I had a friend recently bemoaning demise of the 10’6” Rod. Is XL 50 medium fast.? I’m always a bit nervous about “loch style” description. I’m not a fan of super fast rods . Had an XP and hated it. But don’t like liquorice stick either.
