Cheaper than Dan Craft, 8' 4wt Rainforest from Pac Bay. Honestly, it is a very sweet blank. It's not real fast, nor it is going to be a wind cutting powerhouse, rather it's something that will put a smile on your face all day long as you're casting. Order online from Hook and Hackle (they call them the Hook and Hackle IM7 blanks) and the blanks comes in at $44.
Forecast are also very nice blanks to learn on, but they get a little heavy in the longer lengths. Their 7'9" is a very nice casting blanks as well as their 7'6" 3, 4, and 5 wts.
