Looking for 2/3wt 4piece blanks

[jdbrookie]

I'm looking for a decent priced 4 piece rod blank in 2 or 3 wt.
Problem is that all of the mfrs that I've seen either don't have them, or if they do, then they are $200-$300 ! I'm looking for something graphite, IM6 etc. that is in the $100 range. I'e checked online at my usual sources, mudhole, hook & hackle, ... :!: with no success. I had a 3wt. 3piece blank made for me by a private manufacturer (east branch rods) that I found at the Wilmington show a couple years ago, but they have since defunked. Anybody know where I can find what I'm looking for?

Many thanks...

Okay,

So, I'm probably going to catch flack for this, but let me recommend a Temple Fork Outfitter Blank. I fish a number of these rods, including the professional in a 3wt. This is a rod that I just love for NH trout fishing. It's affordable. It's got great action. And, the warrantee is a good one (though I don't know if the warrantee applies to blanks).

And,

Yes, the warrantee applies to blanks as well. See the page linked above.

I made a light weight center pin rod with one of these blanks, Nicely finished blank for the price.

Thanks for the info. I checked into the TFO prior to post, but I 'm not able to find anything in a 4 pc that is under a 4wt. I'll check again from the link, and will also check the other links as well. Can't wait to get out on the stream again...
