Oh and to save space on the board by all means contact me through email.

Fisher was in business for many years and once made blanks for Orvis, Winston, Scott, Biscayne and others. They folded sometime in the late 1990's.

Most of their multi-piece blanks were built around the spigot ferrule design of a fellow that I believe was named Jim Tarantino, or something like that. He was a very successful casting competitor during the mid 20th century.

Most of their blanks were unsanded, with the resin ridges intact.

JK Fisher made a wide variety of rod blanks, from fly to offshore trolling. I believe the famous KC Trolling blanks were made by Fisher.

Fisher blanks were considered good quality, high performance blanks in their day. They also made a foray into the finished rod business for a few years towards the end of their operation.

There were some of the fly blanks around last I had one look for one, an old sponsor here had them.
