Actually G Loomis blanks will not be available after 12/31/2009 ... less than 4 months.

North Fork Composites is partially owned by Gary and his son, Brad, is the designer. I have seen the price list and the blanks are MORE expensive than G Loomis.

Of the blanks that I compared prices on ... NFC was pretty expensive. For example, a NFC HM (their top of the line) listed at $304 and the equivalent model in a St Croix SC5 listed at $175.
