Hello all and i wish everyone a blessed holiday season. I got a rod from my mom for christmas and i never seen a rod like this the whole rod blank is transparent for the exception of the guide wraps. But the whole rod is clear and looks pretty cool does anyone know where to get some clear rod blanks. This one says made in china and it says country boy fishing. No size, height or action specifications just that and it also has the number 210. Which i am assuming is the model number. Thanks

210 is probably the length...like 2.1 meters. Is it close to 7 feet long?

I found them on a Chinese wholesale tackle web site. Needless to say, they aren't a sponsor of the website. Just google, "clear transparent solid epoxy glass fishing rod"

If they are clear, I would imagine that they are fiberglass.
Pretty easy to have a clear fiberglass rod. Pretty tough to have a clear graphite carbon rod.

I entered "transparent epoxy fishing rod blank" on Bing and got an OSPREY site with a ton of transparent blanks. Give ie a try.
