Hi Everyone,
Been out of building rods for awhile and now starting to get back into it. I'm looking for Loomis blank to make a light trout rod for throwing small spinners in the Sierras.
I was hoping to find the GL3 ( cant remember the model #) 7ft. 4-8 lbs. 1/16-5/16 oz. and I really like the rich brown color of it. Is there any suppliers out that still have few in stock and is willing to help me?
Thanks everyone for your help,
Pat

Pat,
Not likely.
Mudhole has come out with their line of blanks which are actually pretty good blanks. I have build a bunch of rods on their MHX blanks and can find no flaws with any of them.

Check, their - sj841 or the s842

Also if you want that brown color don't overlook the use of a Lamiglas rod. They have excellent blanks.

Also, many of the batson blanks may also meet your needs.


Good wrapping.
Roger

Probably the S841.

NFC has quite a few blanks with those specs as well. You may also want to consider Phenix, they have been my favorite trout blanks lately.

I'll second the Phenix trout blanks - really, ( I mean really ) light.

I'm with Roger on the MHX S842, that should be all you'll need.

Another to consider is the high end RX8 Batson line.
The IP840 or 841 are very light in hand and "crisp" in action.
The new Titaniumn color is a nice high tech look.

Similar action in the RX7 line is IP840-M or 841-M, matte Charcoal finish, similar to the GL3;
Here is that link;
