You can actually get those aluminum slip rings from a company called Versitex in Pennsylvania. But you have to have an account with them. And if you want a hot deal for some really nice Rod blanks. Get bit outdoors is still having a mega blanks sale. They're not allowed to tell you who the manufacturers are, but the blanks look very very nice. And some of them were $40 apiece, and all of them are under a $100.

I prefer the black metal/aluminum rings over the graphite rings. My experience has been the graphite rings have a tendency to come loose too easily.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

The chances are that the blanks were rolled in Asia and distributed by Batson Enterprises.

I'm gonna have to take a look. What's shipping like?

Edit: shipping isn't so bad so I ordered a 9' blank to build after I finish what I'm building for a certain someone...
