Who builds the super lightweight blanks? I am speaking of the 1 wt - the 0 wt - and the 00 wt.
Also, do any of our sponsors sell them?

Dan's are appreciable lighter and less expensive. Dan generally makes no promises on the ERNs of the 0 weight blanks, since they are special runs. I have what feels like a 000 from Dan. E-mail him with what you want.

When I think super light I think Five Rivers (Dan Craft). Great selection of unique offerrings, great service, and great prices.

Lawrence,

The postal system does lose things sometimes. Call him back and ask again. I got a copy last year or so and in record time.

I contacted Dan for the first time 3 days ago. He was really courteous and helpful. Based on the comments from this board, I ordered an FT863-4 with a few other components. I received this TODAY along with a catalog. Wow! That's record time for anything I've ever ordered, and I'm about 3,000 miles away from Dan.

Can't wait to build my new rod and go fishin'.
