Seems that their rod blanks are available but none of their other blanks. This is why I posted here.

bill, did you search google and find a link for lefty kreh signature series blanks for sale? that would surprise me.

temple fork outfitters is not a sponsor of this site so continued discussion about their blanks is probably against the rules here. not because they are bad at all, just other sponsors offer blanks just as good if not better than TFO. and i think i've heard tom say he would like us to support the sponsors who help maintain this site financially. makes sense to me. clinton, contact TFO directly. a call is always best but they are responsive to email too. get the straight story from them.

TFO blanks are available through a board sponsor.

Only fly blanks, right? I was unaware of the sponsor rule, so if I have asked an improper question, I apologize. I will contact TFO directly, but from this thread it seems certain that, except for fly blanks, their other blanks are unavailable. Since it was mentioned, has anyone compared their spinner and casting blanks with the blanks of other sponsors, actual field tests. A friend of mine used one recently and liked it, even though he does not use spinners often. Clinton

The only blanks available ARE the fly blanks ... but not all of them. The confusion was with your exact question, the signature series. That is not only the name of the spinning and casting models, but also the name of one of the fly rod lineups. Regardless, TFO isn't a dirty word here. I would suggest looking at Rainshadow RX7 blanks for something a notch above what I have experienced with the TFO conventional rods.

Got tip, thanks. I have heard good things about the RX7 elsewhere. Clinton
