NFC rods out of bussiness?

Did they close up shop or what? Website doesnt work now. Ive been also waiting since Nov. for a rod blank and still havent even got an email back from them.
Bummer because they are the only ones making the particular blank i want. Unless someone knows where to find an 11'6" 4# noodle. Cabelas stopped selling theirs so i think im out of options for a new rod.

Looks like the site is just down. Should it really take this long to spin up a blank though?

I'm sure you could track down one of the cabelas or Loomis 4lb noodle rods.
I've fished both of them for years and they're great. But I sold my loomis' versions and opted for the cabelas fish eagle. Imo it's a by far better feeling rod. With much better guides. I would love to replace it with a nfc blank though those have got to amazing feeling blanks

I love my older green fish eagle. Have the newer grey blank as well. I want to make a spiral wrap casting rod, so trying to save cutting one apart.
If anyone has/knows about one of the old gloomis spiral wraps for sale im defiantly interested.

"I want to make a spiral wrap casting rod"

I fished this exact rod for a bazillion years,

11'-6", 4lb, spiral wrapped, Loomis Composite that the guy who ran the upper Kalama hatchery wrapped for me in +- 84'. I ran a Shimano 201 SG on direct drive.
Unfortunately I was running up river one day and my weight fell outta the boat.
Line fed off the real until it back lashed, I heard a noise, and I turned around just in time to see it fly out the back of the boat. Name and number on the rod but I guess it was never found.

I would love to have one but a spinning model if anyone has one to sell.

Side note- I was wearing rubber that day.

I think I have a spinning and a spiral wrap casting noodle from GLoomis.

I'll look in a couple days. Haven't used the spiral much and the spinning several times. Fun play rod!

Factory made.

If you want to sell the spiral wrap im your guy. Im possibly interested in the spinning rod too if its the 4# 11"6. Let me know, thanks.

I am interested in the spinning one as mentioned above.

Would it come with a new clam gun??

Does the spiral wrap have smaller diameter handle for little hands?

Spinning is GLoomis N1382 line weight 4

Spiral casting is Loomis Composite GST 1161 1/2 line weight 4-6

I would sell if coin is right?

WEAK!

Note to Elf................

I'm interested in the spinning one only.

"Im possibly interested in the spinning rod too if its the 4# 11"6"

No hurt feelings, thats just the rod i would be intrerrsted in and it is. If he doesnt want to sell it to me than that fine but i have every intention on buying it.

Speak for yourself.

My feelings are hurt.

I thought Fear No Fist was interested in an NFC blank?

Unless someone knows where to find an 11'6" 4# "

Never looking for a specific brand. Although i really want one of those nfcs. But an old school spiral wrap loomis will have me tickled more pink than my little elf cheecks.

Dude it's the 80's.
I'm rocking my old spiral wrapped noodle.

Call this guy 503-756-9100 his name is lyle , he builds NFCs and has that blank, I run NFCs for my guide service. there not out of business, or you can check Edge rods which are NFCs too.
