Been super busy so far this year with rod builds. Have done 8 builds so far with three more starting soon. Hopefully once those three rods are done I will get a chance to build myself a new fly rod. I have a list of potential blanks and plan to get a few in my hand this weekend while in Boise but if anybody has experience with any of these rods or suggestions of something around the same price range I would appreciate the input. I have decided to try and stay around $200 for the blank. So far my options are all 9' 5wts.
