Looking for a source for this Ice Blank

Hi folks,
I've got a request to locate and build on the following ice blank. I have 2 they supplied, but they want more built. It is a South Bend, Big Boy, mod. no. BBIR 24 UL Spinning Rod. That is all that is on the blank. No one knows where the blanks came from. Any help for this or a similar subsitute would be appreciated. It's what they want, what can I say?

South Bend like many store bought rods don't use blanks that are available to the public. St Croix may have something very similar.

These blanks were purchased from a major supplier a few years ago. They were not sure exactly who it was but tossed out a few names such as Jann's. They may have been sold as blanks due to a closeout or liquidation, but they were not rods. I know of a few lanks that are close in design, but not in cost. If I can find a subsitute that is close in price, I will offer it to them, but until then...
