North Fork Composites

[Si]

Hi,
Im getting a nice flick stick (2-4kg) made up by gary howard on a northfork composite blank. I have heard they (North-Fork) are very nice and im very impressed with them. Just thought i would ask people opinions about them before i part with my cash just in case there are no horror stories.

cheers

With Gary Loomis involvement - you can just about put your house on it that it will be a quality blank ..... NFC's reputation is growing fast.
I did have a chat to a guy up the snowies who was flyfishing with custom made rod built on a NFC blank and he rated it ahead of the Sage SP that I was using.... So that pretty high praise. :)

Should have been NFC :-[ ..... Yes Gary's new business.
I would imagine that having Gary in competition to the G Loomis brand would create a headache - makes it very hard to sell off the back of brand name / his name.

Probably no different if Dick smith started off a new electronics chain - I'm sure Woolworths would try to stop him.
