G Loomis quit selling blanks a couple of years ago. If really lucky you might some stashed in dealer inventories, will take some searching on your part.

Hi,

I have three (3) of the G Loomis 84-16's. 16 # class, very sensitive, 4-6-8 oz sinker loads and make fantastic sticks for fishing around Long Islands inshore waters for fluke, seabass and porgys.

Gary Loomis is the designer of North Fork Composite rod blanks. He is no longer associated with G.Loomis/Shimano.

North Fork Composites blanks are sold by
Anglers Workshop and Bingham Enterprises.

On that same vein.
I have built up some rods using the North Fork Composites, supplied by Karen and I believe that they are as good as or better than any of the comparable Loomis blanks that I have built.

FYI, Gary Loomis is the owner operator of North Fork composites. Therefore his rods are his rods. If you like Gary Loomis products then buy North Fork Composites blanks and you will be assured that you have a Gary Loomis blank.

i have looked at the northfork site and do not see anything comparable to the G-Loomis Pro Blue PBR963S. Does anyone know of a blank that is similar?

Hi,

Call up North Fork Composites and ask them the question. Go direct to the source. I suspect that many of the folks posting here these days have never built on a G Loomis blank from the past.
