So I am looking for some advise on carbon blanks. I am about a year into ice rod building. Built up 10 or so. Having a blast doing it. About to order another round of blanks and I am in a never ending rabbit hole trying to learn about carbon.
I was hoping someone can tell me what I am
Missing from an expensive blank in the 25+$ range and a 8$ Blank say they are both the same length and both solid Carbon.
am I paying for someone’s “special taper or is there an actual and noticeable difference in the carbon. I sand my own blanks down so I don’t want to pay extra for a popular companies taper but also don’t want to buy crap carbon if there is much of a difference.
So this is a long ways of saying, what if any difference is there in carbon blanks and what does that difference mean for the blank, more sensitive, higher QC Etc.
Thanks for the help lads.
