His was one of the few shops you could order a lami GSB blank when they first came out. My friend Bob Andrade who built rods for all the top hooks told me to order a 1321M blank through Gil. I went down to order a blank and Pope wouldn't order the blank for me unless I let him build it. I walked out and went through a Connecticut connection for the blank. Never went back to his shop after that fiasco. Ten footer could be a 1201L - great blank.
