White Rod Blanks

A couple of years ago, I bought some white 6'6" and 7" eglass blanks from Mud Hole. They were American Tackle brand. They made excellent catfish and live bait rods for Striper and hybrid fishing. I really like the way the white blank looks when wrapped with bright colored thread. Now that my supply is low, I am discovering that these blanks are no longer avaliable. If there are some of these blanks out there somewhere I would appreciate someone pointing me in that direction.

James.
Mudhole has a Memorial Day special that might be of interest. The blanks are white, Amtek, medium-heavy and 6 feet long ( they can be lengthened from the butt end).
I received two of them yesterday. Worth looking into.

You could always paint them but I've turned a lot of hair grey trying to paint blanks white.

Some of the Lamiglas glass blanks are still available in white, honey, or black. When you look in the blank catalog, over by the blank price they list the colors available at no charge. Also they custom color their blanks for a nominal fee.

James I am not familiar with the brand you mentioned but I believe Calstar makes a complete like of white E glass blanks. You might research them. They take longer to get but they are made with the same meticulous care all his other blanks are.
