Long Shot: Anybody have, or know where I can find an East Branch blank?

I know that the company went defunct a few years back.
I still think that the 3 piece 4wt GT42 is among the finest 4wts that I have ever and will ever cast. Unfortunately I only built one for my buddy years back, didn't get a blank for myself, and only get to fish his rod occasionaly. I know that this is a million to one shot, but does anyone know a source for that blank? I'm currently trying to track down Erik Jobson, the maker of those blanks. I know that JP Ross supposedly used Erik's mandrels for a series of blanks a few years ago, but I found they were nothing like that sweet, quick, East Branch. Thanks!

Troy. I own several rods built out of East Branch blanks, but not that one. I also lost track of which models I have, although I know the line weight. length, and color. Most were black. E-mail me if you want to strip a rod for the blank. Re: Long Shot: Anybody have, or know where I can find an East Branch blank?

Troy, I do have an East Branch 3Pc. 4 wt. blank. I'm not sure what model it is. I'm not at home right now, but if you'll send me your E-Mail address. I certainly will get back to you. Tony Luppino-lloop2@cs.com
