I should have stated that this was entirely my fault and told CS this as well. They are being very accommodating, but this also their policy..so it is to be expected.

Ryan - as far as no 1024 in GL3..after talking with them yesterday I believe that the blank will no longer be offered as just that, a blank. They will however, continue to produce the model as a factory rod. frown

I really liked this rod and it's companion 1025. They have served me well for 15+ years and the ROI is unmeasurable..far beyond what I would have hoped for when I built them. If the replacement will perform just as well....
