Recommendation for a 2pc surf blank..........

Hey guys.....................

I have built many a surf rod but they have always been the one piece variety and with the exception of the Lami's the other mfg I have used dont have the same in two piece versions...............

Will be used mainly for throwing 1-4 oz plugs and metal for stripers and blues using 20 or 30lb braid on a Penn 750SS
Something in the 9'-10' range.............

Suggestions?


Thanks


Russ

Gator Glass 11'6" Maybe

Mudhole Has some Cascade Composites Blanks that would be doable and affordable in spinning and salmon/steelhead blank categories.

If you find anything you like let me know as I am looking to buy some surf lure chuckers for west coast stripers myself and cheaper the better as these will be the ones subjected to "the treatment" i.e. sand, surf, rocks
