CTS rod blanks - where to buy?

I'm putting together my winter rod building project (a 9' 4-piece 5 wt). I was going to build a dan craft (own a Sig III, probably build a FT) and did a quick search on here to see if any new opinions have come out about DC rods.

One post also mentioned something about CTS blanks being top notch... but I can't seem to find where to buy them in the US? Any suggestions? I'd like to check them out for the right price.

thanks.

Thanks guys... anyone know where the Affinity One fits in relative to the Affinity MX and Affinity X?
CTS's website doesn't have that model in their fly blank graphic:

Mike, I don't believe CTS offers the Affinity One any longer, just the MX and X. I am their Distributor and will be glad to help you. Just shoot me an email and I will get you pricing and availability. Thanks

I have a couple of the CTS Fly rod blanks. I would rate them as some of the best out there and cheaper than buying a high end Sage or Winston, but just as sweet in the hand. I don't think you would be unhappy with one.

Mike,

You may want to call Bob Meiser. He was one of the boards sponsors.
It is my understanding that he has a good knowledge regarding CTS fly rods.

Looks like FishSticks isn't carrying these anymore? I'm not finding a supplier, anybody know of one?
