I did not make the blank. I had it made for me. I am a "Rodbuilder" not a "blank maker".
Be it cane , or graphite the cost of making quality blanks money wise,is out of my reach to tool up for. As long as quality blanks are offered I will continue to build on them and mark them appropriatley as to origin.
Second:
The cost of this particular rod ..material wise was over $300. Which does not include any labor.
