Recomendation for a 10' fly blank

I am looking for a 10' 3wt fly blank that is a 2 piece, I have looked at a lot of sites but haven't come up with one yet.
Any ideas who would have one?
Thanks, Rob

Hey Herb,
Yes he does some nymphing but he also wants it to fish some bluegills too, he just asked if it was possible so the search has begun. A 3 piece is not as hard to find as a 2 piece in this size and weight.

This may work for him It does not have to be a fly blank As loog as it handles the line weight

Hey Bill,
That may be a good idea, I looked at and it may sure enough fit the bill. Quick question....any idea on lure weight versus fly line weight? or at least how to do a conversion on it.


Thanks again

One way is to put the line weight over 16 as a fraction As 3/16 This gets you in the ball part but may not be a home run If you find a blank that may fit try to see if any builders here have built as a 3 wt
Seems like it should work
But
Even on fly blanks if said to be a 3 wt the blank may not perform well onless with a 4 wt line
Mudholes are Mod- Fast I would take that they flex about in the middle of the blank so they would be a tad softer ???

Some one here may have built and tried it ???

Global Dorber has them. I have no experience with any of their products, you might ask around.

I have Global Dorber's 8wt(bass bug) blank and love it. There true to weight too. I tryed Rio's streamer line on it that is 1/2 wt heavier and it didn't like it at all. Put back on the 8wt line and it sings again. Haven't tryed a 7 1/2wt line or 7wt line on it yet, maybe I should give that a try.

Thanks for the help, I did look into the Global Dorber's rods and it looks like I may give it a try cause I can not find any other 2 piece with the exception of the CTS and don't know if I want to wait that long on it.
