    Default Shopping for Bamboo blanks

    I'm starting to look for a winter project. I'm looking for that special set of blanks. I want to build 2 this winter.

    Matt- you can't go wrong with blanks from Mike Brooks - give him a call or send an email to him for more info - he builds the best Payne tapers I have thrown, and his own designed Mckenzie taper is terrific.

    More info on Mike Brooks plus some rod photos are being emailed to you - if anyone wants more info please send an email.

    I was looking for the same thing a while ago. Someone pointed me to this site. I have yet to order one but was told there fairly good rods: [url=http://www.enigmacane.com/:5ed44]http://www.enigmacane.com/[/url:5ed44]

    Another really good rod maker that has a great price on his blanks is Tim Zietak...he is making me a Leonard 39 H right now. there are a lot of good makers out there...if you go with Mike Brooks, ask him about his green bamboo blanks...they look really cool.
