If you are looking at doing things on the ubercheap, Utmost might be able to hook you up with a Forecast blem spey blank. They had some earlier today when I placed an order.

Gordon,

what kind of fishing/casting are you going to do with it? What type of lines? Shooting heads? Short belly? Mid-belly? Long belly?
Overhead or spey or both?
How about casting style? Dominant bottom hand, dominant top hand or both about equally?

If you know the answers to these questions, it is a lot easier to find appropriate blank. If not, I suggest you go out and try rods and lines to find what you need and then you'll be a lot wiser and get better advice. This way you'll save both money and effort.

Cheers,
Sakari
