There was an article on readers casts several years ago on building fly rods from Batson e-glass blanks. It was written by Jim Flamming.

Here

In the article, he references several blanks to use, anywhere from the 601 to the 721. I decided that I need a short fly rod for use out of my pontoon, and happen to have an older SP661-2 blank in my basement. Since it wasn't referenced in the article, and I can't really find any information, does anyone have any idea of what general weight this rod might build into? I might be interested in building it if it is a 6 or less (preferably 5 or less), but if it is going to be heavier than that, I'll find another purpose for it. From what the article said, I'm inclined to go ahead and build it up and see how it casts.

Does anyone have any experience with this blank? I've been in a couple of rod swaps using this style of blank, and like the action of the rods I've built so far, but this one is something I haven't heard reports on yet. Thanks in advance.
