Anyone tried these blanks?

[ol' blue]

I found a place online that is selling 10' 2 pc. blanks rated from 1 to 4 weight. Anyone tried these out? I'd be interested in a 2 wt myself, if they aren't just a 10 noodle. Does anyone have experience with such a beast?

I haven't heard of them. Who make it?

1wt to 4wt or 1# to 4# test line. Noodle rods are rated for #test line.....I think.

Nope, these are fly blanks. 10' 2 piece. 4 different blanks, 1,2,3 or 4 weight. The one weight is .300 at the butt and 4/64 at the tip. The 4 is .350 and 5/64. They are described as "Moderately Fast, Crisp Actions, Extra Length To "Reach Out There" With the delicate Power for Lighter Tippets And Lines".
Unfortunately, they aren't at a sponsor here, so I'm not going to list the seller. Contact me and I'll let you know where to find them. I'm interested and will probably call about them in a day or 2.

Well OB,
This ain't gonna help ya much but.....
We do have 2 10' rods around here. One is an expensive blank that we tossed together ourselves. We REALLY like this rod. It gets the call QUITE often. The other is a cheap "store bought" and from this rod we can see where a lot of people get their negative opinions on 10'er's.
Email me and if they seem to fit the bill we may just build one to try it.

Thanks, gemrod. I hadn't seen those yet, and they look to be at about the same price point and similar specs. I wonder if they are the same line.
