I think at one time Falcon use to get their blanks at one time from Shikari blanks. I built a few rods out of these blanks. They are light and sensitive on bad side didn't take much for them to break.

Right now I buy the cheapest blank I can get my hands on.
Put micro guides on them. Total cost is around $40 to $50.
If blank breaks I just take everything off and put it on another cheap blank.
Get my stuff from Swampland tackle in Houma or when in Houston Fishing tackle unlimited out of Houston
I find the el cheapo blanks work better than a $100 store bought rods.
Got a bad habit of breaking the tips and not worth investing too much money in a rod that I will break.
