Surf Assassins?

Suggestions are welcomed for a blank to make a light surf plugging rod. I would prefer one-piece or offset two-piece and like to toss from one to two ounce plugs. I think a nine footer is enough for what I want.

At one time I had the heavier of the GUSA Surf Assassins and it was Perfect! I will assume these are no more and hope to find something similar. Any help is appreciated.

GUSA should be back up and running soon... New owner and I have no idea what they are going to make from the GUSA line up. Other then that I can say that the Lamiglas GSB108 1m is a good choice. I'm building giving a try to two Seeker blanks I picked up..CSW1008 and CSW908. Neither one feel like a composite blanks at all. The 1008 reminds me of my All Star 1266.
