In fishing, blanks refer to fishing rods without guides or other hardware attached. A blank is essentially the main body of the fishing rod, usually made of graphite or fiberglass, before it is assembled with the reel seat, handle, and guides. These blanks are typically sold separately so that anglers can customize their fishing rod by adding the desired components. Fishing blanks come in various lengths, materials, and actions to suit different fishing techniques and preferences. Anglers can then attach the appropriate guides, reel seat, and handle to complete the fishing rod.
