Does anyone know of a specific brand of blank that can be purchased that is made for, or adapted for inline (line runs through blank and out end into a spring bobber) ice fishing rods. Should be 36 to 50". I know I can collect broken fly rod tip sections but I am looking for a blank that can be purchased over and over for multiple rod orders.
thanks, Buzz Re: looking for long, inline, ice fishing blanks

Closest thing I have seen is a Pac Bay T2SP600 or T2SP601. They are too soft as-is to me, but I have trimmed 6" off the tip to make 4'6" UL spinning rods and they are really nice. The 600 stays softer and the 601 becomes a faster action. Would still be a little over the length requested unless the butt is trimmed as well, but this is the closest thing I can think of.
Hope this helps. Thanks - Marc Keep it simple - that's all I can handle! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/08/2016 10:58PM by Marc Morrone. Re: looking for long, inline, ice fishing blanks

No problem Buzz. I just checked and have one in the shop - T2SP601, tip trimmed 4" to 4'8", and there is a nice thru hole at the tip for line to pass thru. And it makes one nice little ultra-lite for open water too. Re: looking for long, inline, ice fishing blanks

Was out crappie fishing with a friend and he was using a 2 piece telescoping 10' in-line fiberglass jig rod from B'n'M it was called the Cadillac combo. This made me think of your post. B'n'M sells replacement tips for these and they may work for what you want. In addition they are very inexpensive. B'n'M jig poles are very popular here on the south for pan fish, nothing fancy but functional and durable.
