All Star blanks?

Yesterday I could not find blanks' pages on All Star's web site. Just am wondering what it may mean?

Pavel,
From earlier posts: All Star was bought by Shakespeare. Together they have not decided if they will
sell All Star rod blanks or only finished rods. The web site has been (for now) taken down.

Thanks, Ken
But what was strange to me when I looked over their site yesterday: it was up and running but without a link to "Blanks" section :-(

The blank program has been discontinued for the time being. A few vendors still have some stock left, try Lamar and Pacific Bay for two of them.

Thank you, Tom, for making it clear. Hope I'll be lucky to get some from Karen

P.S. Seems hard times are coming for not expensive American-made blanks :-( Wish Dan Craft start his spin/cast blank program (LOL)

A-ha, one more Russian-spoken person :)

It's simple, Scott: I'm Russian and Ken knows it... But you are right: it's enough to trick the others.

I am currently in the process of preparing a proposal to submit to the corporate office to keep the blank program going. Thank you all for your patience and support.

We just have to see what All Star does - keep their own line or perhaps go "private label"
