I purchased some blanks from @#$%& that were suposed to be in good condition and they are crooked. Is there anyway to fix these blanks?



Thanks Jeremy

Jeremy;
Use the search function up top.
type in "crooked blanks" use all dates, and you find much info on your question

I attempted to do thank and nothing came up.... Am I doing something wrong?

I changed the search to the last year and got some results.......................
Thanks for the help
Jeremy

Only thing you did wrong was buy rod blanks off an @#$%& site. No way to know who you are buying from or if the blanks are really what they are described as being. Sure to be some good deals there but also sure to be some bad deals there. You got one of those last ones!

If the blanks are any good at all you won't be able to straighten them. The resins used to make fishing rods is not a "hot melt" type of product. You can't heat it and then expect it to re-harden to its original state. Nor can you flex and warp a good blank to take out any set from the opposite side.

They are what they are. A slight bend or overall curve or warp is of no concern really. Bad warp and sudden crooks indicate a less than first quality product.

if they are not - that - bad you can roll them on a flat surface and when the tip comes up pointing to the sky, mark that as the top. When guides go on it may straighten it out some. just depends on how bad they are.

The good stuff is on the left !!

To get the real goods go to the left. Time is money and who wants to try and straighten out a crooked blank to save a dime

Or you could build on them and call them something like "Fine Caster", let people know it's a new innovation, twice as good as anything on the market, tested by pros and make yourself a fortune!! Wait a minute........I've got some bent blanks right here......

Hey Grant you can tell the customer those rods are called corner rods because they can cast behind corners, piling or brush piles with no effort LOL::)))
