The Angler's Workshop blanks are Talon IM-6 blanks and if you've been in Canada you have seen at lot of Talon float and drift rods. Can't remember what the warranty is, but it might be on the Talon site. talon-graphite.com I think. Also get with the Angler's people for info. Unless they've changed the color the blanks are rootbeer. Re: anglers workshop blanks

Talon has actually been around a long time - they just don't market themselves to custom builders very well. They are, in fact, the last in the long line of companies going back to the original Loomis Composites Inc.

Spencer,
I had a chance to talk a little to Dwight Waggoner, president of Talon, when he'd been in Moscow back in December. He said that Angler's Workshop blanks are not manufactured by Talon anymore. Pavel, Moscow, RU Re: anglers workshop blanks
