Does anyone know who has any Shikari fly blanks (for sale or trade) made by Shikari orginally or by ATC during the brief period they owned Shikari?

Tony, you will be hard pressed to still find Shikari, however you might get lucky on the ATC. Check with Scott at Fishsticks.

I have some ATC 9'0" 8wt blanks that I might trade, depending on what you have to offer. Please contact me via e-mail if you can't find them elsewhere.

I am not interested in the 11wt. If you want to discuss this further, please contact me off the board. Thanks!

Dave -
I suspect that the Versitex pages need to be updated. They list Shikari and also All Star. I don't think blanks from these companies are readily available to rod builders any longer.

Versitex still have some hard to find inventory so, it's worth a phone call.
