Nachako Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Well lesson learned I tryed to buy some bamboo blank from a place called Anglers Roost Big mistake. Not only did they misrepresent the weight of the blanks they sold me. But after checking the taper with a micrometer they are not even the taper of the rod they advertised. There response ( send it back ) this whole kibocal going to cost me about $80 in shipping and duties Lesson learned Again Don thanks for your help in this Paul Ps I'm kinda curious on what this would turn out to be ? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/The-Waara-Taper-12-ft-3-piece-5-6-wt-Flamed-Bamboo-Blank-with-2-tips-/302271579366?hash=item4660ca44e6:g:H7YAAOSwnbZYEnOg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Paul, It is too bad it didn't work out. Generally if you wish a blank, there are a lot of options from well known and respected builders. Here is a short list: http://www.stonerodco.com/about-2/ http://carlinbamboo.com/blanks.htm regards, Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roast Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Wrapped out a (stone) 8'6" 5wt cascade blank a few years back. Really nice dry fly rod. Looked at his website and many pages are missing. Hope he's still making rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
