I like them, many of them remind me of Loomis blanks, but straighter.

I have built on a dozen Shikari blanks and like them very much!
Try the P804 SHII mid modulas, very durable, and reasonable
price too!

I also built several rods on Shikari's. Very nice blanks, IMHO. Especially liked SHIII series

Thanks

Kevin,
Do a search with "Castaway Blanks" and see what pops up.
Interesting reading.

Bingham carries them, possibly Anglers Workshop. I'm not up to speed on their full line of distributors. You could contact Shikari and ask. Surely they'd have that information for you.
