Looking for my next project. I'm hoping to build another 7wt rod but I want to build it on a black glass blank. Ive seen a lot of colors a blank but I haven't really seen a true black glass blank. Does anyone know where I could find a black glass 7wt blank? Just curious whats out there.

CTS can do just about anything. They don't list a 7 weight but I know builders who've ordered them.

I have a CTS. It is really nice. Pricey but well worth it. I thought about another one, but I wanted to see what other options there were

Livingstone and McFarland both make black unsanded glass blanks.

I don't know what Barclay is doing now with blanks, but he has had black rods in the past.

If you want to go cheaper, You could go with a Spinning blank, just search "Tadpole" on the forum.

I think a lot of people like glass because of the odd colors, so you don't see as many photos of the black blanks.
