travel spin rod blanks

Going to Boca for a trade show in May. Have my 4pc 8wt ready to go, but was wondering about travel spin blanks. Looking for 7ft 3 or 4pc, putting a 450SS penn reel, 10 to12lb test, throwing mostly 1/2 oz lures. Don't want to break the bank on it (leaves Loomis out)

Thanks,

Billy

If you find some, please let me know. Would like a light action 7'.

St. Croix does make a couple of 3 piece in the $90 range, I believe. Check their website. I thing they are in the lower modulus range blanks.
