11 WT Blank Help
Posted by: George Forster (---)
Date: May 16, 2023 07:36AM

My order for a 9" 11 wt. has been delayed, due to manufacturing problems. After spending a few days searching the sponsors and the interweb, I am finding almost zero options, in an 11 wt. fly blank. 2 pc would be nice, but I'll settle for 3 or4. I need something soon, as I am going Musky hunting, in July. I am not totally hung up on the weight deignation, but I have aready bought a couple of 450 grain lines, and need something to pair with those lines, to throw 8-12" flies. It seems like the availability of everything has dried up a bit, since I was an active builder, 10 years ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, all!

I can't vouch for them and never used their blanks, but to the best of my knowledge [www.blokerodblanks.co.uk] are a manufacturer of good quality blanks. A 9' 11wt blank is available from them directly or on the popular website, the name of which starts with E ...

Just get a 12 wt. if available you'll never notice the difference.

From where is your blank delayed?

Not too many 11-weights out there.

CTS mentioned above would be a good one. Bloke or another on @#$%&. Or just go up to a 12 or down to a 10 if you don't have either of those.
