Looking for a blank in the 10.5 - 11 foot range rated for standard 4 wt. line or Skagit line in 200-300 grain range for Rocky Mountain trout streams such as Madison, Yellowstone, Bitterroot, Big Hole, Blackfoot. Wet flies, nymphs, small and medium streamers, the occasional dry fly. Suggestions? Re: 4 wt Switch/Trout Spey Blank Suggestions

The rods I have fished with your grain specs are mostly 2 wt. rods, 300 - 450 gr. is more like a 4 wt. Re: 4 wt Switch/Trout Spey Blank Suggestions

Thanks, Spencer. Perhaps I need a 2 or 3-weight. Suggestions? What have you been fishing? Re: 4 wt Switch/Trout Spey Blank Suggestions

R. B. Meiser blanks. He'll also telll you what line work best with his rods/blanks if you ask him. Some, if not all his blanks used to be CTS blanks built to his specs. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/01/2019 06:09PM by Spencer Phipps. Re: 4 wt Switch/Trout Spey Blank Suggestions

If you want to go the light way you could build a rainshadow Eternity 1064. True 4wt, probably good with a 175-200gr skagit, but also excellent with a wf4f single handed. _______________________________________________ If I'm not going to catch anything, then I'd rather not catch anything on flies.

I have heard of some making Euro Nymph type rods into light weight switch/spey. I just wonder how the flex might be. Re: 4 wt Switch/Trout Spey Blank Suggestions

I am confused. Wouldn't a 4wt switch be a 7wt single handed? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
