I was able to buy the NOS blanks from Tom Morgan Rod Smiths a month or so ago. These blanks are what Tom had made in the original color. I picked up five blanks, I sold one blank to another builder because he had a customer that had been waiting for sometime. I finished up the other four and all shipped to customers.

Fantastic looking builds. Is there a new, non-original TMR blank color?

Thanks everyone. Yeti, this was the color before Tom started to work on the new coating.

The 8ft 4wt TMR Glass rod is such a smooth casting taper! I was fortunate enough to pick up the first 2 pc rod pictured above. Shane’s finish work and Tom’s tapers are an intoxicating blend. It has been very difficult for me to only lawn cast the rod and wait until I was on the “right” water to fish it. This Saturday morning I will string up the rod with 406 DT4F 12ft leader, 7x tippet and a my tailwater fly box (and magnifiers so I can tie em on!) and hit the Swift!!
