Guys-

Really if anyone knows of a blue blank that I could use for under 100 closer to 50 for spinning rod, 2 piece please let me know. I am building a northern king pike fishing rod for my Dad in which he is casting spoons. I couldn't find anything under 118....

I really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jeffrey

You could find the blank you like and paint it blue.

Jeff,
Boy, your floating all over the place. If it doesn't have to be 2 piece, Schneider's has some of the 2003 blue Forecast blanks. Can't find a blank that color cheaper than here. SP 844 or 845-DB.

Spencer-

Not trying it is just hard to find Blue rods in what I am looking for. I am going to talk to him later this weekend....See what is more important, a two piece vs color....

Thanks!

check out Mud Hole's special blanks, they have a nice cobalt blue blank that may be what you want but it's a one piece.

those 2003 forecast blanks hsould be quite a price bargain, but be aware they are "blue" in only the farthest stretch of the imagination. well, ok, i exaggerate. but they are more of a gren/blue. and personally, i find the ugly. but that's just me ;-)
