Hello to all.... I am currently looking for glass rod blanks for ice rods. I have been unlucky in all my searches to find these in clear colors. Does anyone have a place where I can buy these as I have order inquiries for these rods.

I have used several of the rod blanks from Janns Netcrafter. The microlite blanks have a black and orange paint finish on them that can be sanded off. The blanks are ultra light depending upon which blank you get.

Finding a "clear" ice rod blank might be impossible. Solid glass ice rod blank are made via a fiberglass pultrusion method (see [www.youtube.com] ) and then ground to the action/tapper/power requested. Do to the fibers and resins used, a clear blank while not impossible, is cost prohibitive. Therefore, solid glass ice rod blanks are opaque, not clear. Then then are coated (ie black with an orange tip) to keep the fibers from getting into your hands.

Mud Hole offers many solid ice rod blanks that can the sanded to provide an opaque solid glass blank then you could clear coat one. A couple of white coated blanks that might meet your needs:

Several black with orange tip:
