Rainsahdow SU1385, ive seen people using it off the beaches in florida. I think its like 2-6, but i heard its #1 for the pomapnos. yyou need to cast far enough out to get over the bar, so that sounds like the right blank

Chuck Payne I'll give you a couple options not listed that I like, both are Carolina cast pro rods, the 12' 3-7, and the 13' 3-6 are both excellent long range pomp rods. The actions are very different between the 2 though, bthe 12' is a parabolic rod, and the 13' is a fast action. I would highlt reccomend either and have a 13' one I would send to someone to try if wanted.

Joey, The CTS blanks are definetly worth looking into. I believe they will nbe perfect for pompano

I no those guys dont use to much weight and fish sand fleas for bait. I just built an 11 1/2 footer rated 1-3 and i could blast 5oz

with it no problem. I gave it away a week ago otherwise I would let you cast it. take a look at them you wont be disapointed.

Mike

I have a friend who owns a 12 foot CTS rod,rated 1-3 oz and it's perfect for Pompano. You don't need a heavy rod for Pompano. C2
