Fast action trout rod blank recommendations
Posted by: Kenneth Tarner (---.hsd1.tn.comcast.net)

Hello,
I am considering a Dan Craft Sig V 905-4 but see that the 'new' blanks are slower than the older 3pc versions. I'm looking for something comparable to the Sage XP action, but without the sticker shock. The rainshadow rx8+ might fit the bill but is a bit more $ than I want to spend at this time. Any other blanks out there worth looking at in the $125 range? Thanks,

Ken in Tn

Not sure what they are priced at but Dan has FT (fast taper) models to pick from

Wait, just checked his website. Take a gander at this!!

The Dan Craft FT blanks are listed in the CCS data site and are among the fastest action fly fishing blanks available. In my own experience the taper of these blanks make them a great buy if you are looking for a rod with versatility.

Angler's Workshop Stream Stalker blanks are XF and listed on their website, but not in their catalog. Price is right, action is fast, but I have not familiarized myself with getting the true numbers/CCS data at this point on any blank yet.
