I am planning to build a short 3 weight rod for fishing small streams. Can someone recommend a good blank. Beulah, Dan Craft, and St. Croix seem like good candidates, and I'd be interested in getting a recommendation. Re: rod blank

You might consider fiberglass for this application. Lamiglas has some excellent choices in this category. The FL 783 and FL 843 are 7' and 6'6" respectively. Many of my customers are returning to fiberglass for small stream applications.
In graphite, all the choices you mention would be great. Terry Re: rod blank

x2 on the fiberglass. Loads better at short range, will throw longer if need be and the quality of blanks available these days is outstanding. Offers advantages of bamboo without the maintenance and are extremely durable.
I am also one of those anglers Terry is talking about who has gone from graphite back to glass. I just finished a CTS 8' 4# three piece for myself and it is awesome. Ben Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
