Hello to every one!

This is my first time on here. I am an angler from greece and a year ago i find out that i can magickly make my own rod. I have all ready collect some informations from a good friend in greece and i want now to build a match rod.

So i would like to know if anyone knows where can i find blanks for a match fishing rod.

Thanks for your time!

Try The Rod Shop to the left. Also Talon Graphite here in the US builds some "carp" blanks, Angler's Workshop can get and ship any blank from them you like.

Unhide your Email or drop me a line. Maybe it es much easier for you have a look in the european union. Match Rods are more common here, so the range of blanks are wider than in the USA. Shopping inside the EU ist a little bit easier, too - no costum duty etc.

Thanks a lot both of you.

I ve allready start my search. Allthough i would be glad if you tell me if there is a EU site like yours that i will possibly find some answers!

Thanks a lot again for your time, sorry for my english and i have to say that i did not expect so fast answering to my Q.

I would think that Mark Crouse at The Rod Shop (listed to the left) could help you out with Match Rod blanks. I know he sources some parts from Europe and is up to speed on the type fishing done there. Mark is from Germany, if I recall correctly.

There are a small number of blank manufacturers based in the UK that may well manufacture match rod blanks. Companies such as Northwestern blanks, Harrison, Tri-Cast are strong possibilities. Also Century Composites, and Conoflex may well be worth a google, and also Sportex of Germany used to do some really nice blanks for coarse fishing. I am sure that as Tom says that Mark Crouse who is based in Germany, should be able to help you out with your search around the EU.
