I recently picked up a used custom made rod at a flyfishing show and wonder what blank was really used. The seller said it was made on a Tiger Eye blank but the color looks exactly like a Pac Bay Tradition as it is a plum color rather than the sort of bright golden tan/brownish color of a recent Tiger Eye blank I bought.
My question is: were older Tiger Eye blanks a plum color? Thanks Dave Re: Tiger Eye Blank Color

Hi Dave,
In a word...nope. I worked for Larry and Bard 6 years ago and they were tiger eye back then. I can't say for sure about any eralier variations,but its doubtful. I would email Sevier for the most definitive answer though. I would say that its most likely a Pac Bay blank or other manufacturers item. Chuck Re: Tiger Eye Blank Color

Dave,
The Tiger Eye blank has never been a plum color. I had been buying the TIger way before Larry and Barb bought the business off of Ted Sevier and the color has always stayed the same as it is today. Neal Cissel Neal's Fishing Products Re: Tiger Eye Blank Color

Thanks guys. I guess it's a Pac Bay blank, which is ok as I have made other rods on the Pac Bay blanks and was pleased with the outcome.
