Gentlemen,

I was wondering if anybody could recommend an UL spin blank (preferably 1-4lb or 2-6lb, and 6.0-ft to 6.5 ft) in a 3pc travel.

I know GLoomis makes a 6'-3" 3pc, but just was wondering if anybody knew of any other options.

As always, Thanks. Happy Holidays.

Don't forget a fly blank can be used as a spinning rod. Maybe a travel fly blank. Would think about a 3 WT

I was going to suggest the same as the previous post. I also built on the AllStar titanium line of travel blanks last year - 7' 8-17lb (Christmas present) and am impressed but I don't think they go as light as you are looking for.

Tony check out the St Croix site Rich carries the St Croix line if you find one

Tony, you might want to look at the St.Croix 2s60lf4, which is a four piece,6 ft blank rated for 4-8 lb test, and1/16 to 5/16 oz lures. I've built on this blank 4 times, for myself and others, and I have to say it's one sweet rod, even though it's a 4 piece that breaks down into 18 inch sections. This rod is the most fun for smallmouth you can have without taking your clothes off. Bob Vasko

Or, with a little homework (back issues of RM), some sacrificeable fibreglass scrap, rod bond, calipers and a Dremel tool, you could take the tools to a one piece and make a 3 pce. I anticipate doing a fair bit of that in times to come. Loads of people still want to be able to make sure at least one rod makes it to your destination when travelling.
