Shimano Trevalla rod blanks

I was at the tackle shop today and saw the new Shimano Trevalla rods. The blanks were awesome. The one I loved was rated for 8-200 lb!

Does anyone know where to purchase the blanks or know what blanks they are using?

Some of the high end rods are G Loomis built blanks, but not G Loomis designed blanks. I haven't ever seen any of the blanks up for sale. Maybe in Japan?

Nope, not in Japan either. As far as I know those blanks aren't sold anywhere, but look for verticle jigging blanks with several of the sponsors... do the same job but don't look as cool.

Search on "vertical jigging" on this board "last 90 days" and you will find considerable information on this subject.

No, he means 8-200#'s. THE entire top half of the rod flops out.
