Ugly Sticks, can't get blanks for them either. At the price they want a custom build would be a waste of time and money unless your looking to upgrade on their build.

Have you looked at the Gator blanks from Mudhole?

[www.mudhole.com]

Edit: I see the Workhorse blanks were composite. The Gator blanks are fiberglass.

Hello Lee.

Have you looked at Seeker Rods?
Seeker has a good Composite line-up, and may be able to match it up for you.
There are 3 people to talk to about Seeker Billy Vivona (NERBS), Jim Upton, and Denny (can't remember his last name).



Good Luck.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.
