Euronymph blank choice
James Orme:
Any experience with a couple of the Euronymph blanks available from guidesnblanks please?
Specifically the Evoke 10ft 2/3 wt and the unbranded 10ft 2wt nano helix in the sale section?
Thanks
Sandy Nelson:
Sorry James
I’ve no specific experience of either blank. I think the Nano helix blanks are the same as the ones that you can get from Taniwha and they make into nice rods. But I don’t know for certain. Mark is closed until 11th of Jan but I’m pretty sure his blanks are less :wink

James Orme:
Thanks Sandy. The nano helix is £84.50 (slightly less than the taniwha price) and the Evoke is £95.40. I need some other odds and ends from guidesnblanks so any postage costs will be spread across those as well.
But some of the downlocking taniwha reel seats look very tempting...........

A little late to the discussion, but I have the 2 weight Nano Helix rod.
I love it! It is a really nice rod to use and I have had fish to around 4lbs on it with little problem.
I made it for Bugging for Grayling when the rivers are low and clear and the flies scaled down a bit, but it now comes trout fishing with me more often than not.
If you are planning on using heavy jigs and 3 to3.5mm tungsten beads, then look at the 4 weight, but for French nymphing, 2mm beads and clear water, it is lovely.
James Orme:
I went for the unbranded nano helix 10ft 2wt from guidesnblanks, very pleased with it. I've limited exposure to other 10ft 2wt rods but it feels light, very sensitive and a joy to use when playing fish.
