I need to know who carries a Green rod blank that would match the "Woodland Camo Pattern". The blank needs to be a 6'6", medium power, fast action, with a line rating around 6-12 lb. Thank you guys in advance for any help.

Jim,

The dark green Rainshadow and Pac Bay (rainforest) blanks would both fit the bill for the dark green.

Thanks
Rick

The St Croix may be what your looking for. The Rainshadow is more of a leaf or grass translucent green. Very pretty

Shikari makes a 6'3" blank that is green (walleye series IWJ632) and has the exact specs that you are looking for. I have started to build one, but have not finished it yet. The color is what I would describe as a bright olive green with a gloss finish.

Hello Jim,

I am sorry I didn't see this earlier, hope I am not too late to add a green blank choice.

As Richard mentioned our new American Matrix blanks are in deed green. They have a woven twill material in the butt section which really lights up in the sun. Absolutely beautiful and unique as well.

Although we only have a little more then half of our inventory so far, we do have a Spin Jig blank that comes close to your description.

AMSJ781, 6'6", light pwr, 6-10# line, 1/16-5/16 lure, fast action

Also not in stock yet but available soon.

AMSJ782, 6'6", medium pwr, 6-12# line, 1/8-3/8 lure, fast action

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require further information. (866) 516-1750

I just got 2 RainForest blanks by PacBay from RodBuilders Supplies(great service) and they are very much dark green till you get them in the sun then they are very very bright green. Beautiful green blank but not a camo color unless it is a spring camo. LOL.

Good luck, Mike
