- I have built on blanks by most of the major manufactures, as well as, blanks designed and built by small companies( Loomis, Sage, Winston, Pac Bay, Elkhorn, Steffen Bros, Forcast, Rainshadow, and last but not least, my favorite, Five Rivers.)
- I feel Five Rivers offers more blank for your money then any other company in the premium blank class. They offer several lines of rods, with differing actions. I think they offer a rod for every situation.
- SIGNATURE III - Limited models, good light stream rods. 1, 2, wt are in my favorites list.
- SIGNATURE IV - (NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION) Great multi-piece series. I have a couple of 2 wt & 4 wt blanks on hand.
- SIGNATURE V - One of the best lines of blanks ever produced by any manufacturer. Available in 3 to 8 wt. 4 piece.
- FT - A fast action blank with lots of power. Comes in 4 piece, in 90 an 100 models.
- FTL - A more moderate- fast action blank. Multi-piece blanks. Great travel rods.
- However if your heart is set on a Sage TCX, or Z-Axis then we can order those blanks And make it YOUR rod.
