Of course it is easy to find big blank manufacturers such as GLoomis, GUSA, Lamiglas, etc. etc. 25 years ago we talked about Fenwick, ABU, Lamiglas,

Post your opinions from all around the world:
Who makes GREAT rod blanks?
Who are the leading blanks from overseas manufacturers: Europe, Asia, Pacific?

Countries in Europe have VERY LONG fishing industry heritage in both Rods and lures etc. What are they like?

People fish in Europe?

This is a good question, I'm looking foward to some answers. I know Japan has several blank Manu's, although I'm not familiar with them. The only blank I built on frm Japan was a DNY Impact, who is no longer in business. I believe there is a Korean blank Manu who was making the "original" Outcast blanks before Ken Kimura left and started making them elsewhere.

And maybe something else that would be interesting would be to hear what blank manufacturers people feel will still be in business in 10 or 15 years and why?

Hello guys,

we still have one or two blank manufacturers here in France, but if I had to give you a name for a good blank I would probably cross the sea and tell you to look at David Norwich website: www.davidnorwich.com
He is scottish and does a really good job.
He is selling his business because he wants to retired, it's a pitty.
