The Sceptre blanks were made by Hardy's FibaTube group. I don't know it the tapers were proprietary to Angler's Mail. Fisher set up the FibaTube operation for Hardy, using Fisher's technology and expertise.

Anglers Mail sold blanks also. I don't have a listing of their blanks, but a deep search into the depths of the forum should find some information.

The also sold kits and building supplies. Someone could buy the components to replicate the style. Either way, the blank would be a Sceptre.

Hello, I have a Sceptre 7 foot two piece rod I think is a custom from Angler's mail. There is small script just above the grip that reads something like, Sceptre FL -84 -1 7' 0 not exactly but close to that. small India ink. hard to see. Look closely at your blank 1 inch above the grip. You may just find it is marked. I hope so ! My rod also has four small characters that look like symbols or characters perpendicular to the axis of the blank.. also very hard to read. It features the small all aluminum downlock reelseat. It also has a half wells grip with a angled flat cut into the front of the grip. I think this rod was made for or by a tournament caster in the mid to late '70's very well done wrapped in dark brown with a cream colored tipping. I read the article about the great caster Dick Fujita and his association with Angler's Mail and in my small but very hopeful mind. of course I want him to be the maker of this little 7ft - 4 - 5 wt rod.

Scepter blanks are very very good.
