Blank for surf rod

I have a customer wanting a 15' to 16' one piece rod, 25#-40# I can find the blanks in a two piece and up to 13 1/2 in a one piece. Do any of you know of anyone making anything with these specs?

Thanks,

Jeff Hunter

To get real long sturgeon rods out of the shorter blanks many use an extension that's in the Anglers Workshop catalog. I believe it's listed as Part # GRAPHX.

Bob,
It may be glass, composite, whatever I'm no sure as I haven't personally seen the need to go that long, frankly after watching some of the guys I'm not sure I and many of them really have the skookum to maximize that length rod. I was just trying the let him know what I thought the part # was, I'm at work and didn't see it on Angler's site.

JEff, before you continue your search, make sure you are prepared to pick that blank up at a local suplier who has it in stock, or pay a substantial amount for shipping.

I thikn AFAW blanks come up to 15', but they are 2 piece. Not sure why you want a 1 piece though, with the new ferrules and location of the ferrule, 1 piece rods will become obsolete at some point.
