11' 5/6/7wt blanks? Anyone?

I cant seem to find any 'fly' blanks over 10'6"
Does anyone know if something like this exists?
i need a blank with med/med+ action and moderate/full flex

what model 'noodle' (spin) rod would fit the bill..or at least come close?

Thanks
RB

Yeah. That blank was my first thought. I really think that blank would be too fast, heavy, tiring.
Something more along the lines of a full flex float tube stick that you could throw a 5 wt line with all day long.
11' moderate action, full flex is ideal for this clients application.

the PacBay T2SH1382/2 6-10lb 1/4-1/2oz .500butt and 4.5tip might work
i'd have to cut the butt down 6"
...just one thought

St. Croix Wild River spinning rod blanks can build up into a nice slow action rod in that length/weight combo. I'd assume whatever one is rated to throw 5/16 oz would work with a 5 weight line.

Check out CTS (from New Zealand) at the left and send Stephen Pratt an email. A great guy to deal with who produces a very extensive line-up. I've had great success with their blanks.
