Bill,
they typically don't release the blanks for sale until the rod line is a year old (if at all).

Regards,

Todd

Bill, your best bet is to talk to Jim West in the Orvis rod shop. That is the only way I know of to get a blank from them before they are officially released for sale. Some of went that route before the Superfine Touch blanks were released for sale.

I don't have the number for the rod shop now, but would call corporate and ask to speak to Jim West in the rod shop.
