I am looking for a supplier of colbalt blue fly rod blanks in a 1-3 weight and a 6-8 ft version. Oh yea did I also mention it has to be a 2 piece. Only found graphite usa as a supplier but no way to contact them to see how to order. their internet site does not work. Thank you everyone.
I’d look at CTS blanks out of New Zealand, but they will cost a bit. They have a ton of colors and I’ve heard good things. Fishstix4u carries their line, I think.
Thomas and Thomas have some cobalt blanks, but I don’t know their specs.
Sorry I can’t help more, but that is all I have.

Just built a Forecast RX6 7’6" for 3 wt two piece. ( See my recent thread on the Ugly Duckling. ) It is a dark blue blank. When I bought the kit from Hook & Hackle a couple years ago it cost just over $50, on sale.
The Forecast RX6 is a medium to slow blank. Enjoyed casting it, but it was a bit breezy the only time I’ve fished it so I didn’t get a reel test of how it will perform.
Just checked H & H - they describe a current Forecast dark blue blank as fast. Try this link. http://www.hookhack.com/rodblanks.html#anchorforecast

P.S. Check out the Rod Building Kits page. It will show prices for complete and scaled down kit combinations for the Forecast rods.
