where to get rod blanks?
« on: Dec 02, 2013, 09:52 PM »
so last year I was fishing with my dad's favorite fishing rod The brown Hornet (we call it that because it looks like the one used in Grumpy Old Men) and my friend left to crap in a a bucket with a toilet seat and I had gotten this really nice bite set the hook and was really it up I lost it and hit again and it spit the hook in the hole  it had hit it one more time when I was realing it up the rod snapped at the handle and had to pull up by hand(thick 29") so where can I get rod blanks

I've made two rods with blanks from netcraft.

www.jannsnetcraft.com/rod-building/

The blanks are better than my rod making skills.

look up Gary's Custom Rod and Reel. he sells a solid fiberglass blank that might work for you. he gets $5.00 for these blanks. He is from Anoka but does ship if people need him too. they are painted Black with a Orange tip.
Fishing is not a hobby it is a way of life

I second Gary's rod and reel. I have no less than 70 rods with his blanks. Great blanks and great guy.
