7 pc. Fly Blank wanted

I am looking for a 7 pc. 8 1/2' 5wt blank, but am having trouble finding much. This rod will be rarely used, with the ability to pack it into a very small space being its primary quality. A lower priced blank is highly preferred, and I'm willing to adjust to whatever rod actions are available. Any suggestions??

THANKS!!!

Cabela's has 6-pc 8'6" 5wt Stowaway blank that you might want to consider. I have an older 5-pc Stowaway rod that I've been pleased with. One thing to think about with a 7-pc rod is that you can't break it down into even numbered sections, like you can do with a 6-pc rod.

Thanks for the suggestions. I already have a Cabela's 5 piece Stowaway and am happy with it. . . . but really need shorter sections for my purpose. I had not seen the Angler's Roost 7pc. At that price I think I will give it a try!!

Thanks Again
