Glx 6 wgt.

I have a customer who I've made 4 pc. 9 ft. GLX 4, 8, & 10 wgts. for. He called last night & wanted me to make him a 6 wgt. He was upset that the blanks were no longer made by G Loomis.
First, does anyone have this blank that they would be willing to part with? Second, what would be a good alternative. Dick

The new IMX "Slate" blanks are supposed to be (according to Gary Loomis) as near to the actions of the GLX as possible. They have the same tapers and a lighter scrim than before. He stated at the Conclave in January that the IMX was more durable than the GLX and now had virtually the same performance & all at a greatly reduced price. Plus, they are available only as an unfinished blank for the Custom Rod Builder.
