Forecast 2 wt.

Hi all. I am new to the rodbuilding fever and have sofar built 2 rods. I am hoping to build a new Forecast 2 wt 6'6" 4 pc. The trouble seems to be in finding one of these blanks. I have been told Batson is waiting on them to arrive so they may be distributed to dealers; which is fine ( I don't need to have completed the rod by end of June), but man is this frustrating waiting. So I guess my question is, "Does anyone know where/ if theser blanks are available?" or "Will they ever be?" I have been a lurker here and appreciate all of the knowledge you all impart.

We currently have the F662*4DB on B/O with our vendor. We will be getting these blanks back in stock by MAY. The demand for this blank has been tremendous and seems like we cannot keep up. We currently have over 100 of them on B/O with our dealers. We are working hard to get these back in stock, sorry for the delay. If you ever have any questions in regards to stock please feel free to contact us directly and we will answer your questions.
Thank you everyone for your support of our programs.

Marcus,

I just ordered one last week from Hook and Hackle, Bob told me it will probably be around two weeks. Bob is a great guy to order from and his prices are hard to beat.
