I've been working on some of the Steffen blanks recently. The photos are great but the rods are! All custom ferruled and trimmed. I wrote more about the white ferrules here - https://www.graywolfrods.com/single-post/2017/07/04/Custom-Steffen-Blanks

Did you customize to arrive at the 7'10" blank?

Did you ever cast or flex any of his 7'9", 4-5 weights?

Is the action and feel of your custom 7'10" in that ballpark?

Yes, I've flexed/cast and built on Mark's 7'9" blanks, not sure if he made in 4/5 or just in 3/4wt - can't remember. I know he no longer offers that length. The 7'10" has the same feel as the 8' model I built along with it, I don't feel a change in action - just a slightly shorter rod.
