I am intrigued with this solid carbon idea. How much do these solid carbon rods weigh? What type of action will an 11' 1 wt. have?

I'll second this question. Also, if I understand you correctly, this would be a 4 piece 11ft 1wt?

I'd be interested in a solid carbon blank.

Been following this thread since April.
Does anyone have a report on one of these rods?
One thing that got me interested is that over the summer I resurrected a solid glass spinning rod that I bought over 50 years ago.
The thing is tough as nails and casts very well.
I now wonder what a fly rod would be like.
