I have been looking for 2-4 wt fiberglass blanks. Can you recommend any worth considering?
Anyone have experience with Bloke (UK) or Epic (NZ) blanks? Surely there are some North American manufacturers out there too, but I can’t seem to find any. Re: Fiberglass fly blanks?

McFarland blanks at Angler's Workshop to the left. Steffan Bros. coming out of Arizona I think. Orvis and Winston. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/09/2019 04:58PM by Spencer Phipps. Re: Fiberglass fly blanks?

Fiberglass Blanks Rolled in the USA: McFarland Rod Co (Anglers Workshop carries them), Steffen Brothers, Tom Morgan Rodsmiths.
The Epic blanks used to be rolled by CTS, now they are done in South Korea CTS Quartz, New Zealand. Kabuto Japan. All of these folks make top shelf blanks. Re: Fiberglass fly blanks?

CTS Quartz is hands down the Best . Also Mike McFarland (McFarland Fly Rod Company) has some really nice hand rolled glass blanks that are very nice and made in the USA. Re: Fiberglass fly blanks?

Thank you gents!
I appreciate your time and feedback. I had checked the McFarland site and saw they didn’t have blanks listed, not sure how I missed them for sale at Anglers Workshop. I am looking over all your suggestions now, may be contacting you soon Herb! Re: Fiberglass fly blanks?

Recently built an Epic 7'6" 4wt, and it turned out beautifully. It casts great, too. I'm getting ready to order a custom blank from CTS, so hopefully I'll get a good idea of the difference between the two. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
