Had an unusual (for me) request. Guy wants an 8-12" 38 to 34 oz FAST action rod. The kicker is he wants it long. Wants 12 or 14' but would settle for less but wants fast action. Wants to cast as far as he can from shore Has anyone built on the 3SC106MF2. How would you rate the action? Mike (Southgate, MI) If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!! Re: Blank request

Mike you should be able to find some help here:
[www.worldsurffishingcontest.org] Be careful though and be sure to get paid before he leaves with the rod. I built one about four years ago and he went to the Mouth of the Mississippi River, baited up one time and chunked it a long long way - nobody has seen him since! U No Who! Re: Blank request

I know where to get some All Star Super surfs 2pc and some Lami glass 13 to 15 ft 1 pc surf rods but these things are huge and the butt diameters are extreme. There was a company building graphite blanks in NC that might have what you need, I think their called Wheelers rods?
The only others I can think of are maybe check out Talon's ULUA rods but the weight the guys wants to through is crazy. Might have to modify a blank, I have never used the one you listed Mike. Sounds like he wants a 12' tuna stick!LOL Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
