Pack Rods and Blanks

Hi guys (and Ladies too).
I want to build a pack rod for spinning
(here in Oz we have the highly prized Barramundi).
I need to carry it on my motorcycle while touring up the Top End,
where the Barra live....
Have any of you esteemed gents (or Ladies) a favourite pack rod,
and if so, do you know which blank it was built on.
TIA,
RexT.

On the upper end of the spectrum is G. Loomis. They have a very nice travel
rod that might fit the bill if you can afford it.

Go to rodbuilding.org, on the left will be a bunch of blank manufacturers,
All Star has a bunch of good travel blanks, Angler's Workshop also has a
variety of blanks in IM6 that make good rods and hold up well. St Croix has
some 3 piece blanks in their inshore series that have had good reviews.
Rainshadow also has some, they are great blanks at a good price. Rainshadow,
All Star ,and Angler's workshop have the most personable service and will
quickly answer any questions by e-mail.
Good Wraps.
