Jan's has [www.jannsnetcraft.com], a 5/6 Weight 8' fiberglass.
I just bought 3 to build.

Jason, several outfits sell fiberglass fly rod blanks. My personal favorite is CTS, they have the Quartz Glass series, I have built a bunch of them for myself and customers. Lamiglas makes a decent value priced blank. Stefan Bros has a pretty loyal following along with Mike McFarland. Tom Morgan is also selling blanks, bit pricey though. Seeker shows some glass fly blanks too, but I have never seen any of the suppliers out there advertising them. South Fork Rod Company (think they are the former owners of Redington) has blanks. TL Johnson was making glass blanks, but I haven't seen or heard much from them lately. If you can find one, the Vermont made Diamondback Diamondglass were pretty sweet, they along with some older Fenwick glass blanks will show up on the @#$%& sites now and then.
Glass is some pretty sweet stuff to build and fish!

I'm currently building a Lamiglas FL904 glass blank. 7 1/2' 4Wt and it has a very good following with the fiberglass crowd. Nice dry fly rod and reasonably priced. I got this from Anglers Workshop, one of our suppliers on the left.

Lamiglas discontinued their line of multi-piece pack blanks (6-piece) that many of us used to make fly/spin combos and that lami marketed for a long time. Still a good blank if you can find them online.

Thanks Bill yes the Cts blanks are very sweet i have not tried one of there glass blanks but i have built several float rods and i really like them they make a really nice light powerful blank.If a customer wants a float rod built that is what i would recommend is Cts A Little pricey but well worth the coin in my opinion. Thanks for all the great info
