Hello,

A customer expressed interest in an 8' 3 piece 4 weight fiberglass rod. Lamiglas offers an 8' 2 piece 5 weight, but that's all I could find. I'd sure appreciate any help you could lend.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Try Kettle Creek rods.
Phil does glass and his stuff is great. I've built several rods on his blanks and my customers love them.
I think this is his current info. he does not have a web site or E mail so phone is the best way and it may take several tries before you get in touch with him.

Mark Steffen's fiberglass blanks are tops from what i read. the kettles are a nice option i hear too but not as much of a following as yet. also included in this group would be lamiglas, mcfarland, south fork, TL Johnson's and L. Kenney, all offering fiberglass fly rods, perhaps most also can deliver a blank-only option. there's a burgeoning community of people who are using fiberglass fly rods, not just the older stuff but modern ideas, and the support community is growing.

I think the problem you're faced with is that you have someone that was raised on graphite and is looking for a glass rod of similar dimensions and line weight. During the glory days of glass, 8' 4-weight rods were not very common, if they existed at all. I'm sure you will find some per the suggestions above, but recognize that they are not going to be common in that configuration. The progression to longer rod lengths and lighter line weights came with the graphite age.
