7'6 3 piece blank?

Hey fellas, any recommendations for a 7'6 3 piece or 4 piece spinning blank fast taper and light action?

I found the MHX 7'6 ML blank but just a little bit heavier line and lure weight.

Looking for a travel rod blank for trout fishing while I travel, casting spinners and Kastmasters using 4-8lb test and 1/4 to 3/8oz lure weights.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Will

Hi Will,
DBlue, sponsor on the left have 7'6" 4 piece nano technology blanks. The DB12TCBLK761L would be close to what you want. 4-12lb. Not listed on the website so you will need to contact Lily on info@dbluefishing.com to get all the details.

Hi will,
They had some at the Expo and guys like Mark Crouse were impressed and he has bought some. I have ordered quite a few but they won't be here until the end of the month.
Lily is a nice lady and will do what she can to ensure your satisfied. Send her an email to get more details but they are definitely worth a look.. They just got a container load of goods so she might have one in stock.

Talon Graphite has made 3pc travel rods for years. They have a bunch of 7'0 models in the range your looking for.

Mud Hole offers a 7 1/2 3 piece fly rod blank that is listed as extra fast. I have been thinking of building one up as a spinning blank. Should be nice for panfish and stream trout and easy to pack.

Hi John, looked into the Talon's but nothing listed on their website for those models. Do you have a specific link?

Hi Bruce, I've scanned through the website and don't see the listing, can you link me please?

Thanks!
