For some time the Don Iovino rods have interested me. Would it be possible to learn:
1) Which of your graphite types is used for this series
2) The guides used?
3) If you can mention any seattle area vendors who are carrying it? Places I've asked, haven't even heard of this series. Yikes!
4) The actual length of the rods in this series. The reason is that the catalog lists them as 6'2" which seems on the short side. Then if you look in the Mud Hole catalog and even the Lamiglas blank catalogs, the Iovino rods are 7'2".
I hope that you can fill me in. Thanks!
PS I couldn't find the VPR (Visual Power Rating) Table in the 2009 catalog. Was it intentionally omitted? I believe it is a helpful tool to tell people what techniques your rods are suited for. Without it, folks who are not familiar with your action and power of your rods might have trouble deciding what rod to choose. On the other side of the coin, I reckon that is what this forum is for.

#1 We use IM700 for the blanks.
#2 We use Fuji concept alconite guides.
#3 In the Seattle area it would have to be a special order rod. Most of them are sold down south.
#4 They are 6'2" I will look into getting the catalogue fixed. Thanks.
I am not sure why we left out the VPR scale (Probably too many fish pictures) I will see about having it back next year.

Thank you very much. If I stopped by the store in Woodland, would they be available for sale?

Jcoop,
So are the Iovino blanks that you have listed in your catalog 6'2" or 7'2"?
Thanks for the clarification,
CHUY
Definitely 6'2". The 7'2" is not correct.
