Need Help!!

I realize this is a tall order given the delivery time of Hastings blanks lately, but I need a GUSA Wahoo blank, and a GUSA B80 Monster Mag blank, ASAP!
Im posting this in hopes that a vendor, sponsor, or fellow rodbuilder may have these, or have any leads to any. I have a customer who may cancel if i dont get them soon, and Ive already invested too much in very high end components for these rods! Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanx, Scott

I know what's it's like to find yourself in a bind like that. If I don't have or stock someting you need but know where you can get it quick, I'll ALWAYS let you know.

I've been having a REAL tough time getting product with any regularity since they moved to Yuma. I just spoke to their new Rep (also my Booyaa Rep.) at FH and he said things were looking up and he was going to get a program in front of me soon. One thing that's I'm not real thrilled with is that they went to a matte finish on the new stuff, so I'm not sure how that's going to go over.

Anyway, glad that worked out for you!

Yea, I heard they are unfinished...buffed graphite theyre callin it. Might actually be a cool look, looks good on the Rougue rods IMO, but some dont like it. I really like the eggshell finish that Shikari does, but its an actual coating. It will be interesting to see the response they get.
