Has anyone here built, casted or fished an 8 or 9 weight? What are your thoughts?
Thanks!!!! Mick Re: RODgeeks fly blanks

I have not but a friend has built and is using an 8 and likes it. From looking at the bend it is a little faster than what I would call a traditional action. I don't have numbers. Re: RODgeeks fly blanks

My 8 wt clocks in at 175 grams and 75 degrees. I broke the tip and they were accommodating in replacing it. Re: RODgeeks fly blanks

I have not used the Rodgeeks fly blanks but if your 8-weight model comes in at nearly a half pound either your math is off or they make a very heavy rod blank. Re: RODgeeks fly blanks

Mike,
These are CCS numbers, not blank weight. I measured the blank weight at 2.04 ounces. Re: RODgeeks fly blanks

I saw grams and related that to weight. Re: RODgeeks fly blanks

A few other blanks I've found, all are 9" and four piece blanks (I think). Which ones on the list below should I consider? Which ones should I delete? Which ones should I add to the list? Listed from highest price to lowest

They are all good blanks, 9t really depends what you are looking for and type or rod you want.
Go cast a St. Croix Imperial and you will basically be casting a RodGeeks G4 blank. TFO does not seem to offer too many blanks any longer, I think the Pro II may be it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
