Hi,
Is there any interest out there for one-piece 9'0" fly rods. If so, please advise rod weight(s). Herb Distrib. CTS Rod Blanks P.S. - we are back now from cape Cod. So advise if anyone wants to piggy-back on my next bulk order to save a few $ on NZ shipping. Herb Re: One piece fly rods

Depends on brand and price, but I'd like to build a 4wt Re: One piece fly rods

Not from me. I use mostly 4 and 5 piece fly rod blanks. Re: One piece fly rods

I love 'em in weights 7-11. Guides in the keys / S. Florida are using them a lot in the same weights, and they stay on the boat most of the time. There is a little bit of interest in them for throwing streamers for trout and such in the heartland, 7-9 wts, but it's a limited market. Although a small market, the people who use them are pretty enthusiastic about them. I'd love to see a fast action 1-pc 6 wt, but not holding my breath.
You should search this forum for the last time this topic came up.......I was surprised how polarizing the topic became. Re: One piece fly rods

OK thanks.
The manufacturer would be CTS. The mandrels would be mine. I don't want to invest the $ if limited interest. Herb Re: One piece fly rods

I have a one-piece 7 foot fly rod. It's a pain trying to travel with it, but barely manageable. My thought: Never again!

Most people who use these regularly have in-car or car-top carriers (e.g., Titan Rod Vault), or they are dedicated boat/skiff rods. Herb, looking at the product roll-outs at the recent i-cast and IFTD shows, many companies are expanding their 1-piece offerings. And St Croix came out with a 2-pc rod in which only the tip section is removed (best of show at i-cast). So someone is buying them......just maybe not the blanks for custom builds. Except for at least, me. Let us know if you decide to do some! Re: One piece fly rods

In my mind, the inconvenience, far out weighs any positive benefits! Out West many of fly fishermen travel substantially, no way your going to take a one piece on a plane. With modern ferrules, the action is no longer a problem with multi-piece rods. Re: One piece fly rods

It would really have to be a fantastic rod for me to spend another $500 to ensure that I could get from point A to B. I'll go with my multi-piece rods and rod tubes that work on both fly and gear rods. Re: One piece fly rods

Thanks to all for their comments.
I have been receiving requests from a few saltwater fly fishermen for #9 and #10 fly rods for NE Stripers. But it could be for light freshwater blanks also. I just need a orders for a few blanks, of the same design/line weight, to make it feasible. Herb Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
