Karen, I saw your post earlier this week and was wondering what ATC and CTS blanks were available........are they mostly light tackle or will heavier........ maybe tuna style blanks be there as well? Also is it only at the show or will you put anything online,, I am asking because I will probably not be able to make it..

I believe Karen is out of town today and it may be Monday before she can reply to you.

I did speak to her yesterday and they have quite a large number of blanks that will be featured in the "trash can specials." Many hundreds, if not thousands of blanks. All types from what she told me. The model numbers would be hard to peg down due to the large assortment they're bringing. It would likely take several pages to list them all. You'll have to wait on her for any answer to that.

Obviously, the cream of the crop will go quickly at the Expo but whatever is left, if anything is left, will be available from them in some form after the Expo.

.................

That was my fear, I'll wait to hear from her and hope.

On another subject Tom, do you remember a gentlemen that endeavoring into the carbon fiber blank market? I read an article in RM and the article said that the guy was going to introduce the blank shortly but that was years ago. Did anything ever come out of this?

Jason, I'm sorry you can't make it to the show. Our hope is obviously is that we sell everything we have at the show. If we don't however I will compile a list of what is left and will be offering that at the show prices until gone. Thanks Scott
