Need to replace GUSA blank

I had one of the old GUSA Surf Assassins. I think it was the #2 model of the 3 set. Perfect for tossing medium to larger sized Mirrorlures. About 2 ounces worth. It got run over by a bud this past weekend my fault for leaving in leaning against his truck. Now I find they are out of business and the blanks are no longer available. Is there anything else at all like this out there? the butt was short and small OD. The tip was the longer portion. The whole thing was 10 feet long, 3 foot butt and 7 foot tip. Light as @#$%& and fast action. Could handle it all day and not get worn out. Graphite. Anything out there today similar???????

This blank is a 50/50 split but for the money it's a great buy. I build them a lot for throwing sting silvers for blues and Spanish.

Lamiglas has a couple of Infinity Surf models that may come close to replacing your GUSA rod.

Your will need to contact Lamiglas to determine the amount of ferrule offset and action.
