Pre-Wrapped St Croix Ice Blanks??

[FishinFreaks]

A few years back I was able to pick up some pre-wrapped St Croix ice blanks. I personally hate wrapping ice rods, but I do prefer the handle/seat that I make for my ice rods more than any I've fished.

Anyone know where I could get a blank with guides already wrapped on and just put my handle on it? Anyone interested in swapping some labor? You wrap. I make a killer handle/reelseat for you?

I can't help you with finding what you looking for, but I can give you another option.

Buy the rod you want and remove the handle. Then you can put whatever handle you want on it.

I've rebuilt a couple rods this winter. They were both rods where I liked the blank but hated the handle/guides. There's really not much to stripping a rod. If you're talking the St. Croix Premiers then it would only take a couple minutes to remove that handle... It takes a little longer if there's a reel seat.
