Capesams,

I am interested in picking up a quality 10' -11' blank for throwing lures (2-5oz...) that will have great sensitivity as well...

I was considering purchasing a custom from Saltheart, but cannot currently afford to spend the money he is asking...

His work is absolutely amazing, and though worth the cost for the craftsmanship that he puts into his rods, I think that it would be very exciting to take on building my own as an off season project for the winter...

I agree with what you mentioned about taking the time to do it right the 1st time, and I'm hoping to be able to invest over this
winter in creating a personal masterpiece... (at least one that I am proud to go out with!)

Do you have any nice blanks that would work well for this application? Lamiglas or otherwise?... and what price range would I be looking at for the blank?...

A Fuji Reel seat is also what I would like to purchase... as well as some nice guides of course!...

Any suggestions?
