11' 5 wt. blank

I've been looking for an 11' 5 weight blank but it seems to be very difficult. I only found one - a Gatti. Does any of you know of such a blank ? It must be 3-pieces or more. 10'6" is also fine but not shorter than that and it must be a 5 weight.

Thanks
Peter

check with dan craft. he may have something for you. call him and he will set you straight. very good products at a good price. if he does not have an 11 you could extend a 10' to 10'6" but thats another story.

I received a Cabela's steelhead blank yesterday. 11' 6". Feels like it should be a 5. But 2 piece. Great price though. $25.

Peter,

True 5wt 11' blanks are scarce, but Stephen Pratt of CTS has them, and they are awesome.

Ask for the Affinity Plus.

CTS is a sponsor.....Say Hi to Stephen for me.

Peter,

Nearly all of the in-house fly rod tapers that Stephen has developed are true progressive actions, progressive tapers.

The difference between the Affinity Plus and the Affinity is their speed of recovery , with the Affinity Plus being faster.
