Tenkara USA will sell them if you buy 5 at a whack. I have looked high and low and have not found a source for blanks as yet other than Tenkara USA.

Think about this for a minute. About all you can customize is the handle. You could add some ferrule wraps I suppose and maybe a feather inlay above the grip. Buy a rod and rip the cork off and put what you want on it. Tenkara USA is not the only source for Tenkara rods.

That T-USA sells blanks (@$5 or otherwise) comes as a surprise. One of those "amazing if true" things. ~pfa

Not $5 each, 5 blanks at a time. That is what they told me 6 months or so ago anyway. I have only had one request so it doesn't make sense for me to buy 5 blanks.

Possibly. It would depend on the price. I don't have anyone interested right now.

I probably could have been clearer, Paul. One of the risks of the conversational medium.

Hey, no problem, Kevin. We got 'er straightened out. If you are keeping a list of potential customers for blanks, please add me to it. Needing to wait for five purchasers in order to buy reminds me of an army base where I was once stationed, Ft. Holabird, in Maryland; at that time there was a directive in force that no enlisted man was allowed to move from building to building during duty hours unless accompanied by at least one other person. Damned inconvenient, whether involving blanks or soldiering. ~Paul --- P.S. I like your little fly icon. I wish I could figure out how to do that on this forum/BB. ~pfa
