Affinity Float is a series of float fishing rod blanks with performance and sensitivity in a class of its own.

The CTS variable weight helical core greatly improves tip lightness and sensitivity. Extensive CAD has helped us engineer a very smooth loading float fishing rod blank. Made in our world-class facility in Auckland New Zealand and tested by the most discerning anglers in every corner of the world.

    Liking the blank a lot.

  5. Rated 5 out of 5

    Stjohn Milinczuk (verified owner) – November 17, 2021

    It’s unbelievable – 4-8lb affinity float. It may be the best single course fishing rod I have ever used. Wallis casts a phenomenal distance, loads unbelievably, incredible reserves of power yet sensitive and delicate enough for (UK course) species ranging from sub 2lb grayling to 10lb barbel. If there is a better float rod blank on the market I’d be surprised. Service – as always – was exceptional despite delays relating to CV in NZ in manufacture. Bravo CTS, Bravo.

    brian page (verified owner) – December 17, 2020

    blank arrived in the usual exceptional condition, color is even throughout the blank, with no blemishes or unevenness in the color, I don’t care for the alignment spine marks as much as I don’t spline my rods but they are nice to have, I would like to see with the shipment a guide placement chart and possible guide sizing chart, as a lot of guys on some Facebook rod building pages are always asking guide size and placement I would also like to see some dunnage/bubble wrap in the box with the blank, for overseas shipments

    Would have liked to see the rod shipped in a circular tube rather than a box.
