Got a chance to go fly fishing for albacore and am looking for a really big stick. Anybody know of blanks in the 12-15wt, prefereably 4+ pieces? Re: 12-15 wt fly rod blank for albacore

How much are looking to spend? Sage makes 4-piece Xi2 blanks in 12, 13, 14, & 16 weights, but they aren't cheap.

Jon,
Lamiglas manufactures a big game blank in 8' 15wt, 4pc. This blank is a tri-wall construction and is virtually bullet proof. The blank model number is: CSF 96 154 Todd Regards, Todd Vivian Mud Hole Custom Tackle todd@mudhole.com Re: 12-15 wt fly rod blank for albacore

If the trip is a one-shot deal with the rod collecting dust later, why not try a Tiger-Eye blank? They offer a 4 piece 12 weight that won't break the bank. I know Neal's has them & I'm sure other sponsors do too. I use a 4 piece 8 weight of theirs and have been very pleased.
2 cents, Tim Hough Re: 12-15 wt fly rod blank for albacore

I can put together a kit for the Tiger Eye SWGF/P4-90-14 for a smoking deal, just email me and I can give you a price.

I have a Tiger Eye 5wt, and I would definitely want to compare stats or test cast the 12 before I bought one. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
