Need help on Harrington blanks

Please, help me to locate some dealers who have UL, light and medium power freshwater Harrington blanks.
I am trying to find them for about three weeks already, but all is in vain.
I did not manage to get any information from Harrington Rods.

Is there any source in the Internet where their complete range is listed?

You can e-amil me directly with the answer.

Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis,

I visited our local Harrington distributer just before the Holidays and was told that they had backorders that were close to a year old and that they have not been able to contact anyone by phone, or had any response to written communication since early last year. There is still quite a lot of requests from our sturgeon fisherman for their 10-12 foot bank rods used for tossing 16oz of lead and a chunk of bait into the Columbia River. They were one tough blank! The folks I talked to are convinced Harrington is out of business. If anyone has any information contrary to that or a current contact it would be appreciated.

Thanks everybody,

But there is no information about freshwater blanks on Harrington Rods Internet site.
There is only a mention that they have freshwater blanks, but information can be obtained from the catalogue.
And as I understood they do not send catalogues to Russia.
That is why I am trying to find some alternative source of information about their blanks.

Those blanks which interest me are the following:
Ultra-light live bait or medium fresh water.
Salmon and Steelhead
Fresh Water Casting Rod Blanks
Fresh Water Fly Blanks
Fresh Water Spinning Blanks
Steelhead Blanks

Thanks,
Dennis
Russia, Moscow

I can still find the Harrington 552 and 553 blanks locally in Houston. These are 10' rods that are plenty heavy for surf fishing. They can be cut down into 50# boat rods. I have not seen anything smaller from Harrington in several years.
