After 18 years of trying we have finally designed and produced a small range of split cane blanks we like ...alot!! This two piece blank is impregnated and finished "flamed", it also comes with a spare tip section and nickel silver ferrules (not fitted). These blanks are manufactured for us to exacting standards from seasoned Tonkin cane and the 7' 6" blank is based on a Payne 100 taper. The butt OD is 0.320" or 8.12mm and the tip is 0.066" or 12.67mm.Building a split ca...ne rod takes more care and attention than a standard carbon or fibreglass blank and fortunately there are many good rod builders on Youtube who are happy to share their tricks of the trade to enable you to get a really good result especially if this is your first foray into building with bamboo. Given the shallow ID of the butt nearly all our reel seats fit so check out our other listings. Given the time and effort involved in manufacturing these blanks we only have five available at this time but we are working closely with our builder to increase or stock levels shortly.
