I'm very sorry, but none of the replys to my post are readable on my end.
I must have forgotten to log on? Still would like to know of 3 or 4 four piece 7 wt.. fly rod blanks in medium, fast action. Re: 7 wt fly rods

at the low price end of the scale is the tiger eye. very good buy. i have a four piece seven weight. you might also check with dan craft. hard to beat his performance price ratio. Re: 7 wt fly rods

Many rods, but constantly, my goto 7wt rod for the last 10 years is a G Loomis GL3 4pc - 9'.
I have a 10' Scott ARC as well, but this is dedicated for stealhead - either swinging or high-stick nymphing. Re: 7 wt fly rods

A check in the CCS Data Site indicates that the SCIV and GL3 fall into the "medium / fast range most consistantly. Stan Grace Helena, MT "Our best is none too good" Re: 7 wt fly rods

I use my 9' 7wt. quite a bit as a big streamer rod for trout. It's a 3 pc. Lamiglass Perigree (PFT10867), and it fits your Med./Fast requirement. I have nothing but praise for this rod. It has the capacity for just about anything you'd want to do with a 7wt. I put a full sink line on it and throw very large lead-eyed, wool head streamers; then I put a floating line on it and throw poppers for bass; then, I take that same floating line and trout fish with it. You don't have to be a great caster to get good performance out of this rod (I am evidence of this); with a decent double-haul, I can easliy cast 70 ft. with it--farther when the need arises.
