Very good comments. I bought up some good name-brand fibreglass blanks at a steep discount and made them into great bait-fishing rods that will last a lifetime. Hard to believe many of them are being discontinued, but graphite seems to be getting the prominence, so the production equipment is necessarily more strongly directed to what the market demands.

Only concern is how do I pull it apart, its the first bait runner I’ve owned and not sure how to pull down.

Also would like more info in distribution in Australia,it was only an accident I found this one.

Keep up the quality
