Steelhead indicator nymph blank question
Posted by: Tom Lusis (---.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com)

Hello all,

I am looking to build a nymphing rod for great lakes steelhead. I would build it as a single hand rod and it won't be used for anything more than roll-casting. My two leading candidates are:

1) Rainshadow 10 foot 7 weight IM6 blank.
2) Pacific Bay Quickline 11 foot 7 weight switch rod blank.

Any input regarding these choices would be appreciated.

thanks,
Tom.

Another one to consider is the Rainshadow IF1087 switch rod blank.

I built the Meiser 11' 4/5wt for this last year and love it.

I have an older version of the Rainshadow RX-7 blank I use.
It's a 10 1/2' 7wt, unfortunately it is no longer produced.
They do however make a 10' 7wt model #IF1007 as well as the mentioned model #IF1087 switch blank.

Regards
Dave
