Are there still any rod blanks around for purchase?

Thanks, Lee

Mud Hole had a fairly large stock at one time. You might inquire with them.

The G-Loomis Co. (now owned by Shimano) does not sell blanks to custom rod builders any more. However Gary Loomis does have a relatively new company called North Fork Composites that sells blanks to rod builders. These blanks are distributed thru Batson. They are outstanding blanks, and in my opinion are much better than the old G-Loomis blanks. They are expensive but are worth the money.

Lee,
Another good line of rods to check is the new upper end Batson blank that have come on the market this last year. Very very good quality blanks with great actions for reasonable prices.

In particular, check out the three top lines of blanks. There will be one blank in that group that will surely take care of your needs.
