My steelhead single handed is a Dan Craft 10’ 7 wt - you’re the first person I’ve ever heard reference Dan’s blanks. It’s the only fast action rod I’ve ever liked.
Any reason for not using a two handed overhead cast besides just preference? I was thinking of getting one of Bob Meiser’s 909 series rods, which is designed for two handed overhead casting (he first designed the series for musky fishermen throwing 20” flies) as a Pyramid / surf rod.
Also, good to hear you don’t use ladders. I never did either - it seemed to tie people to one spot, and I always liked moving around (ie walking the beaches) there.
