You would never convince me that they do not all come out of the same factory.

Mr. Allen,
Which series of blanks are you referring to? I would be happy to point you in the right direction for info.
Also, I keep hearing the "one factory many blank brands" statement come up. Certainly there are only X number of blank manufacturers overseas and many of them have multiple customers who sell blanks in the US. But is it really assumed that there is one factory making everyone's blanks? Please elaborate as I am very curious about this issue. Thanks.

They are excellent!!! I have built on many of them. Light, sensitive, and very durable. I am surprised more folks have not picked up on them.

Check them out, you'll probably be happy you did.

Love the Mag Bass series of the PacBay Rainforest blanks. I'm with Marc, great blank and super value. Hardest problem is getting them as suppliers sell out fast..

Cabelas and many others sell them as noted above.
I've used quite a few of their Rainshadow II Salmon/steelhead blanks. Enjoy using the RF2SA1084-2 salmon blank a lot.

Mr. Allen,
The info we publish for the Rainforrest and Tradition II blanks can be found in our 2012 catalog. You can download it, or request a printed copy from our website www.fishpacbay.com. I also saw some CCS data posted for certain models on the CCS data site located on the left.

Feel free to give Utmost a call (800) 588-6678 or email utmost39@aol.com. We are located 1/2 block from Pacific Bay and, so long as they have it in stock, can get any product you need. We charge actual shipping only to cut down on costs for our customers, as well.
