Flipping Stick blanks

Sort of a silly question but one that I never thought of before.

I want to build a couple of 7.5-8' flipping sticks this winter and was just wondering if the blanks come as two separate pieces or are they in the finished telescope set-up?

Dear Richrad,

I built one of these a couple of months ago, using a G. Loomis FS904X-GL3 blank. I posted some pictures in the photo section. Both pieces were included in the blank price.

You can get them both ways. Although 1-piece models are a little harder to find.

If you are buying a blank that has a telescopic handle, the pieces both come with the blank, but are loose from each other. You can mount your handle and reelseat on the short section then slip the rest of the blank through the handle to finish off the rod. Just make sure you do not put your butt cap on before you slip the blank through the handle, bad experience there for myself.

For a TELESCOPING Flippin' Stick:
the catalog usually lists it as "1+1" Pieces. -Cliff Hall+++
