Park Falls, Wi.  is another small town (only 3000 or so).
But St. Croix rods or blanks aren't as inexpensive
as they once were.

Allan,

I worked for Scott Fly Rods for a while and every few months we would
get results back from one test or another.  Consistently St. Croix came
back in the top three against the biggies (i.e. Sage, Orvis, Scott,
Thomas and Thomas, etc.).  These test were performed with rods only
labeled with a number.  They were judged on distance accuracy and
over-all rod feel. I love my Scott's, but for the money...

Lane

>Who makes the best blanks?

Now THAT opens a big can of worms.

There are many who swear by the big-name brands.  There are many who
swear by the no-name brands.  And, of course, there are many who just
swear.
