Description
Reviews (8)

Thanks to our constant taper system, the blank loads quickly and delivers the smooth power needed for distance and accuracy.

The Affinity pedigree is unmatched – it’s our cornerstone fly rod series, as a result of its superior design, engineering and materials. A single VeroCoreâ„¢ helical spiral is at the core of each 100% uni-directional carbon fibre (graphite) Affinity MX fly rod blank. This type of structure is regarded as the most effective way of maintaining cross-section stability during bending, therefore creating a fly rod that is more responsive and more sensitive. This is not only apparent when casting, but also when fighting a fish and even when setting the hook. Feel the difference with a CTS carbon fly rod blank.

Read about the differences between the Affinity X, M and MX.

Affinity MX carbon fly rod blanks are highly customisable, and you can configure a rod for any fishing situation.

Made in our world-class facility in Auckland New Zealand. Tested by the most discerning anglers in every corner of the world.

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Mike Lasenby (verified owner) – September 9, 2025

    Excellent quality again, from the blanks action to the paint job. Well worth the waiting period, I will certainly be back.

  2. Rated 5 out of 5

    David Witchey (verified owner) – March 29, 2025

    Your blanks are first class. Beautifully straight, very light and a pleasure to fish. Thankyou, David Witchey

  3. Rated 5 out of 5

    Larry Miller (verified owner) – October 31, 2024

    The CTS blanks are superior To any on the market. The finished rod is better than rods costing three time more. This is the 5th fly rod I have built on a CTS blank.

  4. Rated 5 out of 5

    Mike L. (verified owner) – August 14, 2024

    Great value here, beautiful finish and just the best action for what I wanted, perfect ! Everything I expected from the description on the site.

  6. Rated 5 out of 5

    Peter Turnbull (verified owner) – December 3, 2023

    CTS products are always superb . . . this rod is a 9’0″ Affinity MX which is simply wonderful to cast. I always like to roll up my own blanks and would comment that the CTS epoxy for coating the wraps blows away what I had been using previously–it takes a little longer to cure (maybe 24-36 hours), but is great to work with and has great durabiliy.

  7. Rated 5 out of 5

    Terje J. (verified owner) – December 2, 2023

    Excellent blank, also on distance casting.

  8. Rated 4 out of 5

    Richard Eagleton (verified owner) – December 2, 2023

    I haven’t built the blank yet but it looks terrific. While I do expect to pay for quality, this one seems a bit pricey. I might change my opinion after I build it. I build for friends at my cost, but I think this will be a bit too much for them, so for now, just for me. Customer service was very helpful.
