G Blank rods

I attended a Fishing Tackle show today and happened to stumble upon a booth that was selling G Blank rods.  when I picked one up, I almost threw it over my head.  It was light as a feather.  The rods were selling at $125 each.  Because the the booth was very large and was selling lots of other products, the staff were all occupied with other shoppers, so I was unable to learn anything about the company or its products  I have done a search of this site and have found very little information about the G Blanks.  I did a Google search and one source said that the rods were made from G Loomis blanks - hence the term G Blank.

Does anyone have any further ingormation about this rod?

Long Mike,

I have one that I bought from another board member. It is a 6'9" MH baitcaster.  Great rod for the bucks, IMO. I would say the sensitive is close to my Loomis IMX rods. I bought it primarily to see how I would like the no foregrip/split rear grip without dropping big bucks for a Kistler, Steez, etc. The only drawback I see it that they only have a 1 year warranty.

No they are not made from Loomis blanks.  The name comes from the maker .... George Blankas (or something like that).  Good rods for the money.  FBL and I have a few for sell in the Flea Market section.

KU is correct. The G Blanks are either Rainshadow or Shikari blanks,whatever he buys at the time. Most of the G Rods that you'll get now will be Rainshadow RX7's. Shikari blanks are hard to get now that they got bought out.

And as someone mentioned above,they are excellent rods for the money and the customer service is second to NONE.
