I am looking for a (three) or four piece steelhead blank around 10 feet long.
Lure weight up to 1 3/4. Does anybody know about a blank with these specifications? Thanks

Batson makes a good one! See their catalog.
Rainshadow/Forecast on the left. I have an ISA 1355 but it is
a bit lighter then the specs you posted and it is a 2 pc.

Raymond, are you trying to horse-trade that blank?!
Terje, have you thought about a heavy fast action fly blank? How much is casting distance an issue?

I have thought of using a fly blank, but thought even a 12 weight might not be able to throw 1 3/4 ounce.Maybe I am wrong. Casting disdtance and lifting power are somewhat important.
