If you are looking for a 4,20m or 4,50m rod in three pieces its not easy to find. I only found those in Europe from Veret(Italy) and WFT(Germany).
The rest come from Asia. Abraço Nuno Re: Surf blank for Africa

Purglas make several in 3 piece.
Being an African blank it may suit the conditions better? Re: Surf blank for Africa

I stumbled across a whale of a deal on an 11'8" 3-piece Purglas blank at the Mudhole shop a few years ago and couldn't resist it. I built it out but haven't used it - too much rod for Florida surf. The walls of the blank are 2 mm thick. I have no doubt it would handle a 200 pound fish in the surf - if the hook, the line, the reel and the angler could. Re: Surf blank for Africa

Phil, the newer ones are lighter weight but still very powerful. Not a gulf rod at all though. Re: Surf blank for Africa

Hi guys,
Thanks for your help. I have contacted Purglas and I am waiting for their answer. If I can't find a 3 pieces blank, I think that I will take a Batson SUR1569F. What do you think of my choice ? Have a nice day. Regards Franck Re: Surf blank for Africa
