Bill,
I had to call Cabela's about a recent order that got slightly messed up, and while I had them on the phone I asled about the 7pc blanks.
They were discontinued in 2007, and now they only offer the 5 piece blanks.

Good luck on your search!
Brian

Bill,
why don't you give Josh at Lamiglas a call. If he has the blank and broken section he should be able to make you a new piece.

Todd

Kerry,
I wish that were the case. It is clearly written on the rod "Made in Korea" i have a good idea who made them but not sure if JS would send me some pieces.
I will give Josh at Lami a call tomarrow to see if he can get it done for me.
