New FTL blanks!

As some of you may know, we are adding a new FTL (FT Light) line of multi-piece blanks to our blank line. These are 57 million modulus with a medium fast action. They will be slightly lighter ( in color and weight)and softer than the FT models.
The first of these blanks arrived today and man, are they sweet!
The first blanks to arrive are the FTL803-5 and FTL803-6 8'0" 5pc and 6pc 3wts
The FTL803-5 replaces the discontinued FRSIII8035 and we expect it to be just as well liked.

For those of you who need a little slower action, these will be great rods and will travel in the smallest of cases. We expect the 9'0" 6pc models to start arriving before Christmas.

We also now have the FT905-4 and FT1005-4 back in stock.
For those of you who have been waiting for these blanks, you will want to contact me as soon as possible. Canadian customers can contact our outlets there as we should have some models there in a few days or you can order direct from us.

This week I will be in and out as my elk season is in full swing. Please be patient and I will get on your orders asap. You can leave your call back numbers at my voice mail at 541-782-4404. E-mail is also a good way to reach me or you can fax your orders to; 541-782-2322
Thanks,

Tom,

The new FTL line will be a slightly lighter matte gray than the FT models. The 8'0" 3wts have tips of just 3.5/64ths and the butts are .346 on both 8'0" models
