Tiger eye question

[swen]

I was lucky and was able to get one of the last 9' 3wt Sevier Tiger Eye blanks, and got it built a few years ago. I like the way it feels and casts (once i put a decent line on it). And that's the problem, it feels too good. I'm scared to use it much, I fear some one will do something stupid and break it. (not me of course). My question for you all, is there something out there that is similar in feel/price? I don't remember what I paid, but I do know it wasn't a lot. (I bought it, so it didn't cost a bunch)

It's not always cost that determines the quality of a rod. Sure wish they hadn't quite production of those blanks! Sorry I can't give you another rod that is equal to the tiger eye ... but I had a monumental wave of nostalgia just now!

Are those the plum colored blank rods? If so, I loved them and built on several. I wish I could find more. They were my favorites.

Seems Sevier only has saltwater Tiger Eye rods in stock and not many of them.
