B2Tackle,
Blems are history. The manufacurers are cutting them up instead of selling them. Seems some rod builders were selling them as first quality. The blank/rod would break and the owner would send it back expecting a new blank. The manufacturers could tell they were blems. I suspect some of the offenders were builders with businesses that were not legal.
On the long blanks my distributer is charged the normal shipping plus a $50 surcharge which all gets passed on to customers.
