I am looking for a white blank for a friend, looking for a 30 to 50 lb class glass rod, 6'6" to 7' ,who carry them now, I know Pacific Bay did a few years ago but they don't list them now, any ideas.
Thanks, Rob

I have foound that it is much easier for me to paint a blank the color I want than it is to find one pre-painted. Krylon fusion is a great paint for blanks. Automotive paints work well too if you have the paint store add plenty of flex additive. Top coat either with a couple of coats of Minwax Helmsman spar urethane in the clear gloss and you are good to go. Wal-Mart and Ace hardware both carry the Krylon and the Spar Urethane.
