Hello,
I'm looking for an older model matte black St. Croix SCIII 8'6" 4wt 4pc fly blank (3FT864). Does anyone know the whereabouts of any old stock SCIII blanks? I like the newer Avids, but am specifically looking for one of the older matte black pre-IPC blanks. One of the first rods I ever built was on this blank, and it was a real smooth 4wt that I had a lot of fun with. After catching lots of fish, I gave it to a friend a couple of years ago, and it's turned into one of his favorite lighter rods. And...you guessed it....now I'm missing the rod. Anyway, thanks for any leads! Tom Re: St. Croix 3FT864 older matte black blank?

Tom,
You are so right, I have lost a couple St Croix blanks that are no longer available for that very reason. You give it to a friend to try and then they wont let you have it back. St Croix no longer makes them... arghhh... Good Luck on your search!! I have heard on this board that "you can always get new friends, go get your rod back" Its an option!!

Good luck finding one, a buddy has a dandy old 4FT864 2 piece rod and you couldn't get that rod from him for the world. Re: St. Croix 3FT864 older matte black blank?
