I have been to several rod blank sellers already and have not found even one selling a 10' fly rod blank anymore. This takes time to access their site and purview their entire inventory. I can keep going on like this forever. Don't want to. Could someone direct me to where I can purchase a 10' 3wt two piece fly rod blank in mid flex or full flex action?

If so, thanks in advance.

Jim check out dan craft they have a 10ft 3wt Im planning on getting the 10 ft 4wt myself.

Check out Dan Craft, go to his web site on the left and down load the catalog. I have a FT 1003-4, great rod!!. It is 4 piece but when it is together you would think it is 1 piece the way it casts,

Jim-

Also keep in mind that you could simply extend an existing rod blank. For example, if you added a 30" ferruled extension to a 3-piece 7'6" #3 you would have a four-piece 10' blank that fits in the same length tube as the 3-piece 7'6" blank. Obviously you make the action a bit faster and need to take precautions to ensure you protect the blank when extending it, but I have had good luck doing this. You would either need suitable scrap blank to do this or could cannibalize another blank that is suitable in dimension.

The Lamiglas Appalachian Travel series has a dynamite blank for just this application. I think it is the ET903 but would have to check to be sure. For what it's worth, you add a lot of weight by extending a rod 30" (and change the balance point dramatically). I'd recommend the lightest possible 7'6" blank in terms of overall weight that you think will work. Good luck!
