Matt Dotts of CPR Custom Rods shared these images of a recent CTS Quartz 8' five weight build and his words are further proof of an opinion held by many rod builders that CTS out of New Zealand is building some of the very finest fiberglass fly rod blanks available right now.
Matt wrote... "The fly rod blank is a CTS Quartz eight foot two piece five weight. It took me eight weeks to get the blank from New Zealand. I have used several CTS blanks and they have all been flawless. This one is the same. It casts as good as it looks although it loads better with a six weight fly line rather than a five weight which isn't unusual."
