I got that email as well, the thing that puts me off trying one is the "moderate" action, if they came in moderate/fast or fast I would consider it. Just a personal preference to the faster action blanks.

Found a thread on 360Tu with a guy building one up. Looks to be slow action as it bends down to the handle setup. This is not the norm for me ( I to like fast action) But am thinking these could be a good blank for land base as the load is lower on the rod.

Will keep my eye on them
