Does anyone know what blanks LL Bean uses for their 5 piece travel rod
series?

Last I knew, Loomis rolled the Bean blanks but this could have changed and
their really low end rods are probably being rolled in Asia.

However, even if Loomis is still rolling their blanks, you are not getting a
Loomis rod re-labeled as an LL Bean rod. You are getting blanks rolled by
Loomis or whomever to LL Bean characteristic tapers and actions. Ergo, LL
Bean uses their own blanks for their rods.
