Need blank recommendation
Posted by: Terry Reece (---.nets.nemais.navy.mil)

I'm looking for a 10' fiberglass 1 piece blank. I need it to work with 2-5 ounces, and be a medium taper rod. Those aren't hard and fast rules, but the capability to throw 4 ounces well would be great. It's going to be used for sea mullet, flounder, croaker, puppy drum, etc. from the surf. I've been looking but can't seem to find anything.

Thanks,
Terry

Have you looked over the Lamiglas surf offerings? I'm not up to speed on them lately but they used to have quite a bit in the 1-piece surf rod line.

Hey Terry
If you just want a good fiber blank look at the ones that CUI Product have. I have built a lot of these and can say they will throw up to a 6+bait with no problem.

Seeker SJ-100 makes a nice rod and is rated about 2 to 4, The Lami SB-1213M is a very popular E-glass and rated for about what you need.
