I'm sorry but at that price, my money would go elsewhere. Hope the best for them though.

North Fork Composites made the blanks in the past but I thought I heard Kistler was moving away from them for the new line-up.  Seems if all the materials are still saying NFC that they would still be building the blanks.

 

NFC is their claim to fame too

I drank the kistler koolaide a decade ago and bought a pile of rods.  All of them eventually broke.  I don't feel it was totally my fault either, since all my Saint Croix are still intact.  A couple are nearly 20 years old.

⁹I fish mostly IN, KY, TN. Some in NC, FL inshore, and trout in CO. I have a few Kistlers, several other brands, and one St. Croix. I have never broke a Kistler, but this year is the first year the St. Croix didn't  break. I like the St. Croix rod, and still use it a lot, and I love their replacement policy, but my Kistlers are more sensitive, and more comfortable to fish. Kistler has a lot of sales, so I've never paid retail, so I've been happy with the price as well. I also several of the North Fork blanks, and one of the new blanks, and love all of them.
