Yes, fs blanks are Japan carbon made in Korean and China.They are not Japanese blanks. They are blanks made using carbon cloth that’s made in Japan. But there is a hell of a lot of stuff done to that cloth before it becomes a blank and imo the origins of the cloth is next to irrelevant
The Japanese make the best fishing rods and fixed spool reels bar none but I’m talking about a finished product coming out of Japan like the blanks that used to be produced by Diamaru
Not a blank made in Germany with Japanese cloth. It’s not the same …. Not even remotely close.
The blanks made in Japan, like those high end shimano and daiwa blanks, are really something else.
