I'm looking for 40-50" solid graphite blanks that would be for ice fishing for lake trout. These need to be good and stout rods. I've got some solid fiberglass blanks, but I'd like to find some graphite blanks that would be lighter and faster action. Anyone know where to go? AC FishinFreaks Rogers, MN Re: Solid Graphite Blanks

Aaron,
If you want to order 500, I expect that you can go to a blank grinder with your specifications and have them custom grind some blanks for you. Roger p.s. I wouldn't mind some of these myself, but have never found any of these blanks anywhere. Re: Solid Graphite Blanks

Me too. Maybe we need 47 more guys and we can get 10 each. ;)

The only solid graphite blanks I know are made by Evolution but these are boat jigging type blanks. Re: Solid Graphite Blanks

Thorne Bros has them, but they're $54 apiece. Can't get myself to buy from them for that much. AC FishinFreaks Rogers, MN Re: Solid Graphite Blanks

AC, Thorne Bros. was going to be my suggestion but you beat me to it. Yes that's steep for that size blank but if its in demand you'll buy it! Dennis J. Danku (Sayreville,NJ) Re: Solid Graphite Blanks

Thorne Brothers.
When you need it, you need it. These guys understand ice fishing and the type of blanks we need. Its been a few years now, but I did a massive search for just this and Thorne Brothers was the only place to go. That price is a much better option than the volume you need for a custom blank. ............................................... Better to have and not need than to need and not have.
