I want to build an 8', 4wt 4pc. med action rod and need some ideas for a blank. I want to try and stay around $100 for the build but might be able to go as high as $150. Do you good folks of the forum have any suggestions? Thanks and God Bless!

I just did an American Tackle 8' 4 wt and really like it - something like 35 bucks is hard to beat. It is what I would call a moderate action, and has a cool finish to it.
I agree with the above suggestion. American tackle Matrix series. Great little 4wt blank and a nice smooth moderate action that still has some nice crispness to it. Hard to beat for the price.

Thanks for the info!
I built a Forecast 9' 4wt and absolutely love it. Hook and Hackle has an 8' 4wt 4pc for under $40.

Don't discount the Sevier blanks--3/4wt;8ft blank. More of a 4wt than a 3, it casts smooth. Cost is even cheaper than the Matrix.
