    Default Looking for suggestions

    Might anyone here have suggestions/recommendations for the purchase of fiberglass blanks? Looking ahead, I think I'd like to build a couple. Quality would be #1, cost #2. Thanks in advance!

    Betty, look at Jim Flamming's reader's casts article from a couple of weeks ago. He talks about building glass fly rods from inexpensive spinning rod blanks.

    Lamiglas Spring Creek blanks are very nice ... amber/brown finish, gives it a nice "retro" look.

    Dudly ...really?!? I've been looking at them! Wonder how they'd compare to my Hardyglass?

    Have looked into Lamiglass, too, but hesitated as they're not completely glass ... a combined graphite glass combination? How's that work?

    RC .. will be building a few of the spinning rod blanks to fly rods for my younger grandchildren to get them going!

    Clyde ... it's waaaay to late for me now!!
