Just went back to the it's a pacbay tradition blank. No not really economical..ha! but, really feels much better to spend the money on something you build. I have some name brand store bought rods but always go back to fishing my built rods...there was a company called rod-blanks.com that I think went out of business but I bought a really cheap blank off of them($15) an 8' 3pc 4wt that I fish always, got lucky with the taper and my casting style..it was a nice suprise.
