I am going to comment but I hate to!
I am sponsored by ACC and they are great rods, some of the best I have used with awesome customer service. I have one of every size, grip etc they have and I LOVE THE RODS. I would not take a sponsorship from a company that I did not like the rods. On the other hand Blake is a good friend of mine and I have used one of his rods that he sent me, still use it off camera. It is a great rod. Feels a lot different than that ACC, a little stiffer, but I also know that he has gone through some revisions as well. My rod is 2 years old, one of the start up rods. Long story put short, you cannot go wrong with either. Both owners are great people that make a product for the people, so there is my 2 Cents.
