bankwalker,
Feel your pain...just missed out on a 13' GL3 on another board last week. If you keep an eye on the classifieds of some of the Great Lakes boards you can find some turn up ....ff.net, steelheadsite, questoutdoors. With all the wierd warrenty stuff going on with these old blanks more than a few guys are getting rid of thiers. Many are custom jobs.

For what its worth I'm a big fan of the lamiglas 13' cp rod.
