Vintage Rods

Most of the blanks we acquired were fabricated and sanded but not yet painted. We have been clear coating them with marine spar varnish -- multiple coats with buffing in between -- resulting in a rich looking, tobacco-colored, wood-like finish.

No two blanks look exactly the same because of the normal variation in the color of fiberglass/resin in use at that time. We have gotten uniformly positive reactions from customers, many describing the blanks as "simply beautiful".

Most of these blanks are very light and, despite their age, they are very strong. We have NEVER had a blank returned because of breakage. A listing of these blanks giving length, butt and tip diameter, weight, action and price can be found at http://vintagerods.com/other/other1.htm
