everybody has good things to say about Dan Craft blanks, but I'm confused.

Are they talking about the Five River blanks ?

When you click on blanks from Dan Craft enterprises nothing shows up ?

thanks
Mark

Dan has several lines of blanks. Among them are FT, FTL, Sig V, etc. His site opens for me and an index on the left of the page lists Rod blanks, Guides, Guide sets and more. If you call Dan and tell him what you are looking for he will be most helpful.

Dan doesn't make a bad blank, just pick the one that fits your style of fishing. I have 2 Sig Vs, 1 Sig VI (discountinued), 2 FTs, 1 FTL, and 1 Sig III and can't imagine a better set of rods at any price.

I think much of his site is still under construction. He has a number of listed link that open up valid web pages but are void of products. But many of his top links do contain his catalogued items, including all of his blank lines, and including his Five River blanks, which I have a number of and enjoying using. Don't give up. Email or call him. He's a great customer-oriented shop owner.

My 9ft 8wt FT from Dan was labeled "Five Rivers FT". I'm not sure which of his blanks he labels "Five Rivers." I recommend you give him a call. He's a great guy to talk to and will give you as much help as you need.

Raymond Adams,

You obviously didn't look carefully enough.....The following page links display ".. no products available for display from this vendor ..". Earlier in the week or, or as possibly last weekend, I was perusing Dan's site and noted additional pages that displayed the same message. Apparently he's done some updating and he ain't finished.

I just had a look ,what Patrick said does come up,but if you click on rod blanks from colume on left of page you will get 3 pages of blanks. Dans blanks are great and his service is too .I have always found he is more than willing to talk with you and help pick the best blank for your intended use. A real personal hands on approach that isn,t always available nowadays,and some of the best blanks you,ll find,for any price. Daryl
