The blanks are our own. There are a lot of companies who would like to know the who, what, why, when, where and how on our blanks--so I will not disclose and of our info. All I will say is that there was a lot of research done before we made our first solid graphite rod. Different graphites, resin, graphite to resin ratios, tapers--you name it, we researched it! On top of all that, they are the ONLY solid graphite rods/blanks that are made in the USA.

Thanks for your response. Great info!

So it sounds like you don't do the fabrication, but you outsource that to your specs? Is that correct?

I thought St Croix built their solid ice blanks in-house, which would make them US made. They sure made a nice improvement when they moved from hollow to solid ice blanks.

Great info!
