I want to build a 9'6" to 10' fly rod in a 7 wt. this winter (extra fast to fast action - flex in the top 1/4 of the blank). I know all of the big name brands like Loomis's GLX, Sage and so on... My goal is to build one that will not cost me $300 for the blank alone. I am going to put all top of the line components on the rod, so I do want the rod to be of great quality.. There has to be rods out there that perform very well without having to say G Loomis on it. I know Loomis's are state of the art rods but you are also paying for the name. I have heard a little on the Cabela's FT, St. Croix, RainShadow, PLEASE HELP ME OUT! I am bitting at the bit to get going on this as I have a trip planned in March. Thanks Todd Re: best 9'6" to 10' blanks for a fair price

Todd, The St. Croix 4F967 is a good bet. For what you wish to spend, and for a quality SCIV graphite material this blank will serve you very well in a custom built rod and is still considered high quality.

Go with the St. Croix SCIV series. A wonderful blank for the money. I would have to say that you will be surprised of the quality and will fish right there with the big boys. A solid choice for sure. Bruce Young Landing Gear Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
