I had a person email me from India with a similar inquiry. He even sent me photos of some VERY long rods in use & lying on a bulkhead. I couldn't help him.

I have heard of 19ft ones around the traps in OZ will look into it for you. Don't hold your breath though.

I was recently with a bunch of guys here in NJ at a test casting event, and one of the guys had a Daiwa blank from Japan that was 15 feet long, and light as a feather. He got it at the Red Drum I believe on the Outer Banks of NC. You may want to check with them to see if they have any more. It's not 20 feet, but it's close.

Contact Fidel or Roy at Graphite USA I believe they made a special order one for someone in Hawaii earlier this year.

Michael, let us know what you find... This would be interesting to find what's available besides the stuff you see in all the catalogs.
