Loomis blank search

A friend wants me to build him the 9' model at this link...

[www.gloomis.com]

The loomis site doesn't list blanks. Is this blank available? If so, who sells it and, if not, can someone recommend a blank that would be a close match to the 9' rod at the link above.

Thanks for any help.

Steve

I would agree that the MHX blanks has a Scion price at a Lexus quality. But I know some people like to buy a name too. I would be very surprised if he found fault in the MHX line.

Roger, I was surprised. Surpirsed that I couldn't tell the difference in the 3 different models that I built.....they all felt the same to me. When I pick up my St. Croix's, I can tell the difference between the models.
