Blank Help

I can normally find about what I'm looking for but this is a new one on me.
I have guy looking for a 4'-6" casting rod with a pistol grip, 4-6 or 4-10# line in a fast action. I looked at the St. Croix blanks but they are to far on the ultra light side of things.
Any ideas?

Loomis offered a pretty good selection of 6' casting blanks if you can find them anywhere. Also, North Fork Composites has some 5'6" and 6" listed in their catalog, but not sure where those are available yet. So basically, I'm not much help. Good luck.

EDIT: It looks like Anglers Workshop had a few GL2 and GL3 Casting blanks in stock. [www.anglersworkshop.com]
