I love Scott rods, but they are not big into selling blanks. I wouldn't pay what they charge for them. There are a lot of good blanks out there. I highly recommend Batson Rainshadow blanks. I've built 3 rods on them and I'm about to start a 4th. I don't recommend their Forecast blanks, which are the bottom of the line, but their RX7 and RX8 blanks are very good.
