I was playing with the Elliott Evolution ES44L-F rod at the ice show and want to make one for myself. It is a 44” solid carbon fiber blank, fast action. Elliott doesn’t sell their hard water blanks and was wondering what might match up to this rod? I am having trouble finding something that might work. I understand I may have to do some shaping on the lathe to get the right action. Re: Elliott Evolution ES44L-F

The only solid carbon blank I am finding around that length is a 48” one from Bass Khang. But they are out of stock. Bummer. I want to make one before my fishing trip. I better keep searching. Re: Elliott Evolution ES44L-F

Thank you for the reply but none of those are over 36”. I am looking for something in the 44” to 48” range in solid carbon fiber.
NFC doesn’t offer a solid carbon fiber blank that I can find. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/09/2021 10:18AM by Michael Tuma. Re: Elliott Evolution ES44L-F

I thought this would show up when I copied the ice blanks. I remember seeing a couple days ago when shopping.

After doing some research I feel these blanks are too light. Does anyone know of a solid carbon fiber blank around 48”? I am willing to spend some time shaping it on the lathe and trimming it to get the right action. Re: Elliott Evolution ES44L-F

This 50” medium heavy solid carbon blank might be an option. Was looking for a fast action but might be able to sand it in a way to get the mod-fast MH action into a fast light.
[mudhole.com] Basskang 48” lake trout carbon might also work if it was in stock. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/13/2021 12:31PM by Michael Tuma. Re: Elliott Evolution ES44L-F

I guess I don't see the problem, those ice blanks from NFC look like you could tie them in knots. They make a 40 inch heavy/fast action, 8 to 17 lb line blank that I would think would be easier to extend than having to sand and possibly screw up another blank. For the price they want, 50% off, you'll be hard pressed to buy seconds, let alone first quality US blanks. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
