Loomis Blanks - confused

Hi

In the UK we get a 3 piece Loomis GLX distance rod. I am interested in getting a blank for the 10 ft 7 wt ( i believe the rod number is GLX-D-FR1207-3), but the Loomis numbering system confuses me. Do they sell the blank, and if so which one is it?

Many thanks

Mark

GLX is the series.

D is the nomeclature for "Distance."

FR stands for "Fly Rod."

120 is the length in inches.

7 is the suggested line weight.

3 stands for the number of pieces.

If they sell the blank I think it would listed something like D-FR1207-3. Might be best to just contact G. Loomis or one of their distributors and ask.

F 1207-3 (GLX) is how it would be listed in the US. It by the way isn't in our catalog. Few GLX rods are. No 10 ft rods at all are listed.
