Need a piece of rod blank
Posted by: Ross Andersen (132.216.5.---)

Greetings. I broke an old rod which was one of the first I built. It is a brown 4 piece 9 WT which was a Blem Blank from Anglers Workshop (about 10 years old). I believe it was a Lamiglass. The butt Section broke fighting a Salmon last year (I high sticked it...my fault). Any way, I would love to get a replacement piece to use the rod as a back up. It does not need to be a perfect match either. Can anyone help? I would be glad to offer what ever you feel is reasonable for the piece. Thanks

Ross where did it break? It may be repairable. You could also possibly get a piece from Lamiglas to repair it. They are pretty reasonable. Rootbeer brown 10 years ago it could be a Certified Pro. A little earlier they had a lighter Chestnut brown IM700 blank. Angler's Workshop also had a dark Rootbeer brown line of fly blanks that were built for them by Talon. Angler's should be able to tell the difference.

It broke in the butt Section. It was probably a $20 blank at the time. However, It has caught me tons of big fish over the years and for sentimental reasons, I would love to put it back in commision.

As far as repairability, that's the best place for a break. You should be able to easily repair it like new. Check the library above

Just curious. How do you break a rod in the butt section by high sticking? Every rod that I have seen broken by high sticking has been near the tip.
