G'day Ben,
I got my Shikari blanks from Gary Howard and they are worth it. Building up a barra rod for a customer now and the rod feels great. I know Mudhole had a close out special on Shikari blanks as they are discontinued but Garry will still have stock. He is bringing out the ATC blanks now as well (not the same as the Wilson ATC rods - completely different company) so looking forward to getting them. For the price, they are worth it.
Cheers, Jan.
