    Bought a G-Blank rod!

    Really nice rods! All of them. Very light, and at $125.00 you can get any rod length you want. I talked with Larry Mitchell the owner of the GBlank business, and his wife for about 30 minutes. Very nice people.. I got the rod, a GBLANK T-shirt, and a Hat for $125.00. Cant wait to use it for some warm weather without 100 mph winds on monday so I can take it for a test drive! It is made on a Rainshadow Blank and the attention to detail and craftsmanship rival that of rods that are much more expensive. No, Im not selling my G Loomis collection yet in case you're wondering. Me and Sarge went to the OKC show and had a good time... Had some Cajun Shrimp on a stick Thanks for carting me around Sarge and listening to me talk the ears off all those vendors

    Meeither. Thats why I waited till the tackle show plus I wanted to put one in my hands first. I can tell you that you wont be disappointed. The onley thing Im not crazy about is how the rod handle is cut. Other than that the guides align perectly with the spline of the rod, and are wrapped really well. Nothing fancy just clean quality work

    Re: Bought a G-Blank rod! (beetle)

    Sorry we didn't get to meet at the show, beetle & Sarge. I was in at 10:00 and out at noon. I hoped y'all would give me a call, but no joy.
