Default Anyone know of 3 or 4 piece 10' 6wt rod blanks?

Looking to order up a blank but when I measured out the 5ft length of the Harrison Balista I didn't think it was protable enough.

Anyone know of a decent blank for about 60 - 120 pounds?

Thanks
AL

Have looked at Harrison rod but most of them are 6/7 weight the 6wt is only a 2 piece and I think it'll be a bit big.
Most of the others I have seen are 5 or 7wts.

Thanks

Try asking if they make what you want - stock lists are a guide only

I had a Harrison Ballista 5 weight 10' which I made up into a very good rod. It felt undergunned with a WF5 on it; was great with a WF6 and coped well enough with WF7 if necessary. The two sections are a bind when it comes to air travel these days.
