Need help locating a Lamiglass blank

STRESST · #1 07-07-2008, 12:01 AM

I have a store bought factory rod model #BE6650C its 6'6". I am looking for the same blank to have a custom rod made. Can anyone help me. Been to 3 shops and no good. If its no longer available, I will buy something very close. I am unfamiliar with blanks and any help would be greatly appreciated. (This rod is about 10 years old.)

I would give Grumpys a ring in Seaside Park, NJ.

They are a very knowledgeable crew, and will tell you how it is. If it's out there, I bet Mike will be able to track it down.

Do you want to buy online, or local?
If local, what area?

RATHER BUY LOCAL 718-QUEENS,but would buy online. Why have you found the same blank?

Hi Stresst,

I found a BE 6650 B blank in the 1997 blank catalog. Blue Water Pro "E" Glass and it was not in the 2001 catalog.

BE 6650 B, glossy black finish, 6'6", butt diameter=1.040, tip size=9, average weight=14-3/4 oz, line wt=20-50.

In 1999 Lamiglas introduced the Bluewater XL Composite Series and your model would be the GFC 6650 H factory rod. This series has been discontinued.

2007-2008 catalog shows the BIG FISH SERIES. BFC 70 H, 7', 20-50#, Fast Action and Heavy Power is the factory rod to check out. The blank is the ISW 84 H, International Saltwater series, 7', 20-50 class line, Butt= .850, tip=9, average wt=10 3/8 oz and is fiberglass with Matte Black Finish.

Am glad I saw your post and I hope this helps.
