Rod Blanks
BLANK ACTION - PACBAY blanks incorporate several blank actions based on category and usage. They extend from the “slow action” which has a
progressive deflection from tip to butt, a “moderate action” which will deflect in the upper 1/2 , “fast action” deflecting in the upper 1/3, and “extra fast
action” which deflects in the upper 1/4 of the blank. (refer to PB blank action chart)
POWER RATINGS - All PACBAY blanks have been rated for power using the established industry parameters for line class according to categorical
applications. Some examples would be power ratings of 0 to 6 for spinning and casting applications. Light, medium, and heavy for saltwater as well as
specific line class ratings denoted in the actual model numbers.
LINE RANGE - All PACBAY blanks have been evaluated and assigned a range of line test ratings that allow the blank and line to perform at their best.
There may be many variables determining optimum performance according to application, however, each blank’s ideal line rating would fall in the middle
of the suggested range.
FLY LINE RATINGS - All of PACBAY’s fly rod blanks have been rated for use with weight forward fly lines, however double taper lines will apply as well.
Each blank has been designed to cast a specific line weight, however, angler preference according to casting style or fishing application may determine a
need to use a line weight up or down for ideal usage.

PACBAY Blank LIFETIME WARRANTY
Since most blanks will change hands at least once after their original sale, PacBay’s warranty is transferable from rod builder to angler(s) and will cover workmanship and material defects for the life of the blank.
Any blank you feel to be defective should be returned, at your expense, to PacBay. Upon careful examination, any blank found to be defective will be replaced. As each multi-piece ferrule is custom fit, it is neces-
sary to return all sections for warranty consideration. Please have all components removed prior to returning the blank, as we assume no responsibility for their loss. All returned blanks will be disposed. Handling
Fee: There is a $20.00 handling fee per blank replacement payable by check, money order, or credit card.
Warranty does not cover:
A. Consequential or incidental damages such as the loss of fishing reel, components or rod customizing and assembly expenses affecting finished rod cost.
B. Damage due to misuse, neglect or normal wear and tear.
C. Damage caused to the blank during rod assembly or resulting from improper assembly, such as over-tight thread wraps, improper spline locating technique, etc.
D. Additions or modifications to the blank such as shortening, sectioning or tip top sizing.
E. Any blank built into a rod for which it was not intended, such as: a fly blank built into a spinning rod.
This warranty provides specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.
***Your Dealer is not Authorized to Make Repairs or Replacements under this Warranty***
All PacBay replacements will be made with the same PacBay blank model as the one returned, or if no longer available, with the closest PacBay blank in action and/or value.
