TFO blank.

[arrow]

Does anyone have any experience of TFO blanks or rods in general?
I noticed the Trout finesse blanks on Mistpool https://mistpool.com/en/product/971/tfo-finesse-blank.html
I would be interested in the 6’9 1#.
Thanks to [mention]Lewis Chessman [/mention] for the thread on European rod Building suppliers.

If you are interested in 1, 2 or 3 weight s glass rods then it's worth reaching out to Benno at http://www.bensflyrods.com/. He has his own line of s-glass. I've bought a few blanks directly from him and he's been a pleasure to deal with

Thanks I hadn't seen his site.
Just looking at the moment for a new small stream rod but his offerings look Ideal I'll message him and see what he's got available.

Send the lad a message I had spoken to him about a rod he didn't have and was accommodating.. Worth a shot...

I've got some new blanks coming from him too. Don't need them but couldn't resist - a new 7' 3wt. He's great to deal with. I've also bought from Taniwha on Etsy and Mark is also great to deal with, cant' go wrong with either.

Yes in the tracking photo he sends your parcel is on top of mine.
I've ordered a Light amber 6'6 2weight blank and once I have had a good look at it will probably order some bits off Taniwha to build it.
