Dan Craft Cascade Taper Blank Info

Great Forum!

Anyone familiar with the Dan Craft Cascade taper blank?

I have heard great things about his other lines but can't find anything on the Cascade Taper...I was looking for a 9' 3 wt and was having a hard time finding one in that size and came across these on his site on clearance.

Haven't gotten it yet but if anyone is familiar, I am trying to figure out what to expect...I suspect it is at least moderate/fast and not too heavy.

Already had to call once due to a web site glich and sent email to determine the butt diameter and tip size...hate to be a further pest over a 30.00 sale so I figured I would ask around.

Brett,
Pac Bay used to have a factory in California that built their made in the USA blanks back in the 90's. Think it closed in the late 90's, Sabre which was owned by Pac Bay was also built there.
