Does anyone know where I can find a red fly rod (not Redington)blank of decent quality in 8’ or shorter for 3 or 4 weight.Fisher made one in the mid 90’s called the Ruby.Has anyone ever owned or seen one.I’d like to duplicate that rod as close as possible, it was a thing of beauty.

Thanks,
Jason

You’re very welcome, Jason. I hope you take a moment to let us know how it all goes, should you decide to go ahead with the Lamiglas blank. I know alot of guys have been very happy with Lamiglas quality, and I’m certain we’d all like to see a pic of that red blank.
