My current favorite is built on a US-built Hydra blank. Contact Alex and see if he has something that fits your needs.

Angler's Workshop also has 2 lengths and 2 powers of swimbait/flipping blanks in one piece in their online sale on their site. Well received by some on this forum over the years. They are listed something like IM 92 6F, IM 95 6F, etc. for each power and length. I believe they are selling in the $50 range, about half original price, bagged and warrantied first run blanks.
