Harrington 9' one piece.....

A cutomer of mine has two older Harrington Blanks, Both 9' one piece, and he would like to basically recreate this blank since it no longer made. He wants two more rods, cost not an opiton, that match as closely as possible to the action and length of the Harrington blanks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Maybe Lamiglas MB108-3M-B . Give Todd at Mudhole a call he should be able to steer you to a blank

Wess if he has a 532 the lami MB1083M is close very nice blank as Ken said not quite the same though the Harringtons had much thicker walls
the SB 121 3M at 10" with some trimming might be closer to the 542 much depends on what he has again as Ken said check with Todd at Mudhole

Wes, if it were me I'd get a hold of one of the older Harrington blanks and measure the action angle and ERN. Maybe someone here can provide a 9' blank with similar properties.

Thanks,
