Around 18 years ago, Bob Meiser from RB Meiser Fly Rods,  introduced himself to CTS, and the beginnings of our Double handed Fly Blank range was started.

Bob was instrumental in the early days in helping us develop our Double handed ranges.

As with all our blanks, a lot of refinements  and technological upgrades have happened along the way, but we don’t like to change a good thing for no reason, and thus the essence of the original range is still there.

We’re excited still be working with Bob and his team in 2022, and it’s a fitting tribute that we are making some of our very first blanks with our new Sensor Fit™, and finished in our Natural for the team in Oregon.

Sensor Fit™ is our CNC stone grind technology to give precise taper grind and fit precision to each join, giving your blank the perfect taper lock between sections for precise feel and sensitivity.

Traditional methods of join fitting are done by hand or machine sanding. This often leads to a roughly matched pairing of male to female tapers. High spots are common, leading to rattles and premature join movement as they wear.

Sensor Fit™ produces a fit with a far greater surface contact area. Wearing of the join and consequential movement will be negligible.

Sensor Fit™ produces a lower profile step between sections, reducing line to blank contact with a shorter join between each section of your blank. This improves the flex through the join area to create a smoother transition between sections.
