Since a couple of years we have a new rod building supplier here in Sweden, RFT Gear in Åkersberga. I have been building on their fly and spinning blanks, and the quality is outstanding. RFT Gear is acting as a tackle broker between high-end production units in South Korea and some of the best tackle companies in the world. This is a delicate subject so I won't go into details, but it's worth to remind everyone that there is a big difference between Asian blanks and Asian blanks. The Red Truck Dieel 476 is no exception. Very well balanced taper with progressive medium fast action, and perfect amount of butt reserve. All with a very reasonable price tag. Are you looking for a winter project? This might be the blank for you...
