Hello Folks ... I've been looking for a 6'9" 3 or 4 piece fast action fly rod blank ... I have yet to be successful so I was wondering two things: Does anyone have such a blank in their inventory and would be willing to part with it for a reasonable price? And two, does anyone know of a spinning rod blank that I could be used as a fly rod blank that would fit the requirements.

How fast is fast? Fast as we think of fly rods being fast,with a CCS action angle of about 69 degrees, or spinning rod fast with an AA of about 75 degrees? Here is where CCS could possibly lead you to a 3 piece travel spin rod that would fit the bill. Re: 6'9" fast action graphite fly rod blank

What line weight are you looking for?
As Mick says, a spin blank can sometimes work very well for a "fast" fly blank. Roughly a 16th of an once in spin lure is about a 1 weight in fly line. 3/16 lure = 3/4 wt fly A 5/6 wt fly blank makes a nice soft action 1/8-3/8 oz lure spin blank. We made those up years ago for Nightcrawler fishing, unweighted. There was a book called "Lunkers Love Nightcrawlers" where I first saw this. Hope this helps, as will the "CCS" and "AA" data.

If you provide a list of rods that feel fast to you then responders could provide a list of rods that feel fast to them. That should facilitate your search for the right blank. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
