I no comprehend?
Bad news buddy... they have rod blanks! I picked up a 9ft 5 wt "diamondback" blank for 40$!Thier finished rods looked real nice for the prices also...
Where is the new Cortland Factory Store?
thats a smokin deal!
I'd take him with me, but he would be confused by the lack of "UP/Down" buttons on the ladders.Good news about Cortland's store. I can't wait to be in the area.RG
Jay, Are those the glass Blanks?Rg
No... but, it looks like Cortland bought the Diamondback line(from vermont). A little searchin and I found these same blanks for 60 bucks, still a good deal but 40 is better. I cant find anything wrong with this blank after looking it over. They had rods built on the same blank for 80$. I asked the guy if we could string one up and put some bend in it? - "sure, no problem". I didnt go outside and cast it but I liked the flex - med/med-fast. Im not a huge fan of real fast fly rods...I have a friend who wants a fly rod made for under or around 100$. This fits the bill...Further research found that Cortland has brought back a Diamondback glass blank, these are not those though. I'd be interested in checking out one of the glass blanks...p.s. - they had a TON of fly lines at great prices...Also a 7ft 6in med-fast spinning rod that fealt great for only 30$ - gotta be mass produced over-seas...
Want to take a shot at reproducing a Cabelsa CS 900 ?
You should really put a micrometer on that blank before they are all gone...

I'd love to throw together 2 and 4wt glass rods for dries. I think it may be a good Saturday afternoon road trip. You didn't happen to notice their hours did you?RG
DC, was that 7' 6" rod a one piece?Thanks!
I'll do that, Won't be this Saturday. I have to go kill some bass for Pete Thanks,RG
