Fast Action fly rod blank

I am looking for any recommendations for a super fast action fly rod blank...3 pieces. I am familiar with NFC and Gatti as typically providing a faster action. I also like Batson`s RX8 but do not think it comes in 3 pieces. Any other thoughts??

The St. Croix SCII/IV are exceptionally fast in action, albeit very light, powerwise, in the tip.

Check out CTS Fishing. Their Affinity X blanks are fast and you can order them in the 3 piece configuration you are looking for. Bit expensive but worth it, they will reach out there when needed and handle the close in work just fine without having to over line the rod.

Talon has the 9' Cairnton in a 4# and these are fast action and the Highlander in a 7'6" but it's a 4 weight and might not be the fast blank your looking for but worth a look!
