Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that Lamar is now a stocking Distributor for CTS Rod Blanks. CTS blanks are manufactured in New Zealand, and are a very high quality high performance product. Last week I recieved a 7' spinning blank and a 9' 6wt fly blank, and I have to say these are some of the lightest crispest blanks around...the spinning blank is like a feather! CTS also utilizes a helical design in their blanks to give added strength and durability. Check out : [www.ctsfishing.com] to read more about it!
I am very VERY excited about this new relationship with CTS. This is an extremely unique, VERY high quality product, that all of you should take a look at. We will have more info. up on our website in a few days as well as a complete list of inventory as soon as our first shipment arrives. For now you can take a look at the CTS website at www.ctsfishing.com

Please feel free to email me or call if you have any questions!

Regards,

WAY TO GO ANDY!!!

Andy,
What are the specs on the 7' spinning blanks?
1 or 2 piece, lbs, lure wt., etc.

Andy - can you tell us the turnaround time for painted blanks? They've got quite a few different colors to choose from, it would take a lot for you to stock each model, each color, and multiples - waiting for a blank is fine, having an idea how long it would take would be cool..

Andy would have to give you the specifics, but I believe there is a minimum quantity (5 of each model) in order to get any of the custom colors as well as a fee ($20) for any that don't meet the minimums. I looked into this not so long ago as I'd love to have some white graphite blanks.

.......................

Tom, there is a pretty good Rod Builder discount buying five or more blanks (20% last time I ordered through them). I fully endorse what Andy has already mentioned above. The blanks are beautifully made and right up there with the best I have built or used to this stage. I particularly like the cobalt blue. I agree with you, the white would also be spectacular.

Question from the Bayou - Will these blanks be found "in the garbage can" that you will certainly be bringing to Charlotte?

hi Andy,

My heart skipped a beat when I read this. I've been wanting to try a couple CTS blanks for a while now.

I know you can't stock every model in every color. I'll ask the sme question as Billy. Any idea what the turn around time is to get a blank to you?

Thanks,
Rick

I've run a couple of these through the shop and they're about as topnotch as they come. I haven't built my white one... yet.
