Hi guys. Im looking for a blank and I thought that Forecast/Rain shadow had it but I was mistaken. The color is very important for this particular customer since its a birthday present for his wife. It needs to be a blue blank. Spinning/Casting blank. Medium action, 6 foot long, 3/16-3/8oz lure wt, 8-15lb line rating IM6 graphite. We are trying to match a Falcon FG-416 rod which is what she currently fishes with as close as we can with the colors of her preference. Any help would be appreciated. I would prefer to not paint it if I didnt have to. Re: Looking for a Blue colored spinning/casting blank

CTS makes blue rods. They are a high end rod blank so if price isn't an issue try them. I think Fishsticks to left side still might sell them. Re: Looking for a Blue colored spinning/casting blank

St. Croix SCIV. Beautiful pearl blue. Really great blanks too. Re: Looking for a Blue colored spinning/casting blank

I'd recommend the St Croix SCIV line as well. Beautiful deep blue pearl.
For an inexpensive option and a little brighter flat blue color, Mudholes Custom Builder blanks are very good for the money. Re: Looking for a Blue colored spinning/casting blank

Thanks for the advice guys, the Stcrois are pretty much out of his price range, the mud hole blanks are a bit under budget for what I want to do for a custom build for a customer. I will give swampland a try and may end up painting if I strike out there. Re: Looking for a Blue colored spinning/casting blank

I wouldn't cast the Mud Hole blanks aside so easily. While I can easily state that they aren't a SC5 or GLX blank, they can hold their own among the "middle of the pack" that occupies a large segment of the market. I wouldn't have listed them as a less expensive option IF they weren't a viable product. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
