Fenwick Blanks

Does anyone know where I can get Fenwick fly rod blanks? I built a few rods a few years ago with blanks I purchased at Cabelas, and I have a customer that wants one now, a three weight. Are they available wholesale? Do any of the sponsors have access?

Last I heard from Fenwick is they sell no more blanks , only complete rods.

I visited the Fenwick website, found a toll-fee number (Pure Fishing, parent company) and called. They do not sell blanks any more, all their rods are made off-shore.

I'm looking in my Cabela's 2004 tacklecraft catalog.They show HMG blanks on page 5.Maybe you could email them to see if they are still available.

I checked the catalog as well. While they do have HMG blanks, they don't have a three-weight, and I'd have to pay retail. That's not going to work. But thanks for the suggestion.
