Can anyone list US fly rod blank manufacturers? What rod makers manufacturer their own blanks? Who produces blanks for others? Does 3M manufacture blanks?

Off the top of my head, these folks make blanks for themselves and others here in the U.S, in no particular order.:

All Star
G. Loomis
Lamiglas
Shikari
St. Croix
Steffen Brothers
Kerry Burkheimer
Talon
Winston
Scott
Sage
Thomas & Thomas
Hastings Rod Manufacturing
Calstar
Seeker


3M has not made blanks in a couple decades to my knowledge. I'm sure I've forgotten a few and others will fill in the gaps.

Casey and Tom,

There are other companies not listed who also either roll there own blanks here in the states or buy them from a U.S. manufacturer.

Add to the list Gator Glass, Banner, Fisher and about 5 other OEM manufacturers most rod builders have never heard of.

I think he asked for those who actually make their own or make blanks for others, not those who buy their blanks from others. Certainly there are dozens and dozens of companies who buy or have made, blanks which are actually made by one of the manufacturers above.

Fisher has been gone for nearly 10 years now.
