Thanks guys

I have a medium action Sage rplxi that I made, which with medium action the rod is slower and does more of the work much like what is sounds like Kens rod does. I suppose my immediate attraction was how pretty the brown blank was. I cast better with the Sage than I do with the Orvis I have. But I cast better with an older St. Croix than I do with either of the above. I guess what I am thinking of more than anything is a longer rod, but not a spey rod. Does anyone know what the brand name of Kens blank was. Yes Saxatilus I am interested in getting one of the blanks. Ken is kind of proprietary with what he sells, so I wasn't going to bother asking him. Appreciate any help. I used to get a kick out of Kenny saying he raised his own hens for hackle until someone told me to ask Ken where the farm was next time I saw him. My contact said Ken had Mr. Whitings permission to say he grew the hens after he repackaged the saddles and such. Has anybody ever bought or ordered any of Whiting's gold capes? I was wondering if it was worth the cost?
