That's what I was thinking Bait O' Eggs, smaller butt w/heavier tip when comparing the fly blanks to the cast/spin blanks, which would also effect the action (load), as you mentioned. But I'm no expert when it comes to building rods, so that's why I thought I'd ask.

Does anyone really know why Rainshadow isn't building the 1082?

BTW Mavrick, what's your email address???

Thanks,

James
