Anyone want to swap an ISA1355 for an IST993 or another light steelhead blank?

I posted this on the swap page. I picked up a blank labeled "ISA1355" - matt grey, two piece, about .7" at butt, 5/64 tip (seems to match Rainshadow specs from what I can tell), very straight, nicely finished - about a year ago. I got it for light saltwater work but upon talking to some folks realized that it won't exactly work for what I had in mind. Anybody got an IST993 or other steelhead stick that might work for a light salt rod who wants to do a swap?

Another convert to the little 993 speaks. LOL. It may not be what a lot of people thinks is the ultimate length/action nowdays for fishing, but it sure a fun, sensitive, well balanced rod to fish.

But surely there is at least ONE out there who, as wonderful as this light blank (or I could do a 1024) is, has a surplus but really NEEDS a 1355.
