I should have been a bit more specific.....
.......blanks are priced through the roof, but guides, thread, seats, all seem to be reasonably priced considering what the stuff cost years ago.
I am doing my usual hunts on eBay and have found reasonably priced blanks. Found a place or two that sells new blanks online for good prices as well.
Since most of what I look for are UL or light blanks, I’ve managed to find bargains. A lot of the lower cost fly rod blanks will make up into swell spinning rods, albeit on the long side.
No deals to be found by me on surf rod blanks, better off buying a complete rod.
