Does anyone know of a rod blank that breaks down to 15" sections? Ideally 5 weight, fiberglass, 7'6", 6 piece. But I'm flexible on all of those criteria other than the length of the stowed rod.

I've found a few options in finished rods (4wt)

Plus, if I expand to graphite I can get some MaxCatch rods about that specification for $80, and a Cabelas Stowaway for $169 (but they go on sale, or at least used to).

Ye Olde English Fly Shop has a 7 piece blank 8' 3/4 for under $50 shipped, but it's graphite and a little lighter on the line weight than I'd like. I'd like to keep the price for the blank under $100 if possible. It will be for a rod that may get knocked around a bit, so I don't need the highest spec.

Just curious to know if I'm missing something.

Talk to Shane - he’s posted several very multi piece glass rods in the last couple years.

Thanks, Matt, I looked at the Twig, but as a 5 piece it is a bit on the long side for fitting into a briefcase. Brockton, I looked over some of the travel rods from Shane that I've seen made, and they were over 15" as well. I appreciate the endorsements, though!

Preast, good to hear a positive review of the YOEFS blank. It's in the running.

Until I can get something built, I have one of these that I was given years ago that is a fiberglass 6'6" 6wt. Maybe I could even change up the components to make it a bit prettier.

Good choice. If it’s an earlier model, I think it has great action. A moderate action rod. The latter models are a bit faster but still good. I like my Berkley rods. Some have a sweet action. Underrated.

Maximum Catch on ebay has a 9ft. 8 pc. fly rod in 5,6 or 8 wt.Complete with bag and case.It was about $65 USA with free shipping.It is graphite though.
