CTS 1103-1 4 to 6 oz

[striperswiper75]

I have the CTS VT 3-6 in a 2 piece. I love it. It's my main rod the past 3 or 4 seasons. I have not compared it to the 1 piece blank though
The 4-8 blank does seem very difficult to come by in the states. I would email CTS in New Zealand and see about getting a 2 piece blank shipped. With the exchange rate and shipping, I don't believe you will pay that much more. Ordering from New Zealand likely eliminates the 1 piece option though.

If you are looking at CTS, I would also highly consider Fiber Star Composites. 2 years fishing this rod now and I can't say enough good things about the Marauder 1327 1-5. Beast of a rod that will take a beating, but an absolute joy to throw eels, riggies, and plugs in the 2-3.5oz range as well. You might want to look at the 1329, though, as it can handle more weight.

I haven't heard the horror stories being described about CTS. The people I do know who own them seem happy. On the flip side, I personally don't know anyone who has been disappointed by their FSC either, myself included.

Just my .02

I've got a VT 3-6oz 1pc I could part with. I'm in Narragansett if you're interested.
