You might want to think about the 5 Piece Stowaway 5 from Cabela's! I just finished building the 7'6" #4 weight! I love mine!!! It is more of a med/fast action, and is not as fast as the Forecast blanks I have seen and built.

As a side note, Cabela's has the balnk on sale right now for #34.99. I used graphite reel seat, bambo burl grip, Fuji Concept Strippers and Pac Bay SF chrome guides. I got everything for around $85. I already had the epoxy I needed for the rod so that is not factored into the price I paid. Have I also mentioned that I love mine???

The last thing about the rod is it came in an emerald green color. The blank color with the Pac Bay green wound carbon reel seat, chrome guides and green/black braid Guidebrod thread made for a beautiful rod!!!

Just my thoughts,
