Hi all!
I want to build a 10' #5 3 or 4 pieces in BLUE color blank.
Can you let me know what blanks are there in blue color with an about $100 value?
Thanks!!
Dani

You may need to buy some other color blank and have it repainted at an auto body shop. Batson sells blue fly blanks, now called RX6, but not longer than 9'. CTS has 10' blanks that you can get in blue, but they quite a bit more than $100. There might be others, but those are the only ones I know that are blue.

Bod does have dark blue blanks. I bought a 4 piece 9' 6wt from him and off the top of my head I thought it was a H&H blank but I'm not positive. Regardless, he has or had them, give him a call.

American Tackle Company makes a beautiful midnight blue gloss series of rods called Elite. They are made in the USA, means alot to me, by a very well known, well regarded manufacturer. Find a discription on the Richards Rod & Reel, Mud Hole, or other American Tackle retailers sites.
You'll find these blank are mod-fast to fast, thin, crisp and all around great blank.
