Just wondering where everyone else finds fiberglass blanks to be cut up for rod repairs. I try to keep my eyes open for them at yard sales and such, but all i ever find is graphite.

yard sales.....also put an ad on that guys list.... "looking for old, cheap fishing rods, broken rods okay"

And if nothing else, lower priced new blanks, either hollow or solid glass, like Batson SPG601 or Ice Fishing blanks.

A couple of the advertisers to the left have closeouts and "trash can" specials from time to time - you can occasionally pick up blanks for $5 - $20 - buy a few, then you have the entire taper covered when you need it...

Johnny at Anglers Roost just starting carrying some glass fly blanks for a really good price. I would guess they would pay for themselves in the first repair.

Try calling some of the suppliers and maybe they got some scrap they would like to get rid of
Free ??? or just shipping

Most manufacturers of rod blanks have plenty of damaged blanks, seconds, rods that were beyond repair etc. that they are glad to get rid of a nominal prices. Contact a few and see what you can get.

Ron Schneider, those are pretty inexpensive glass blanks. Any chance of you breaking them in half to make shipping less expensive? :-)

A chop saw works better than breaking the blanks.

Be safe

Thanks for the ideas!!

It was a joke, Roger.

Better than our current Free Shipping on orders over $ 25.00 and just $ 5.00 with blanks up to 6 foot included?

Sounds like a pretty good deal, Ron. Not sure how to beat that!
