They are built on batson blanks in the 40 to 60 dollar price range although they would probably never tell you or anyone else that. I found out the hard way with comparisions on a rod wrack if you know what that is.

because the blank is 40 to 60
dollars in no way means that it is a cheap rod. the manufacturer has to make money somewhere the complete rod price is high because of their good warranty which in most cases is 50 dollar replacement or if found to be a faulty blank free.
They make several types.of rods and the new Hp Slam is a new blank that just came out the last few months....and I promise you they are not using a 60 blank on a HP slam Mag.... The Hp Lights Blank coast about 60 or so..... But the Mag Blanks are closer to 200 than 100
