Ideally, I'm looking for a graphite blank to use in the surf with a spinning reel and 30lb braided line:
10 foot 6 in long,
cast 3/4 to 4 oz lures
3 piece

The closest I can find is the SRF100MMF4 from RODGeeks. It looks good, but it's only 10 foot long and is 4 piece.

Can anyone suggest alternatives?

(I think I noticed, maybe a few years ago, a Rodbuidling.org sponsor, based in the north east of USA, that sold some 3 or 4 piece surf blanks. I can't remember their name nor recognize them in the current list of sponsors.)

Thanks,
David

Contact Herb L and HNL rod blanks on the sponsor list if you're interested in having a custom made blank built to your exact specs . CTS can do it all , they built me a bunch of high performance surf rods blanks with my last couple of blanks also being 10'6 in length with one being rated to handle 2- 4 1/2 ounces and the other 10'6 is rated to handle from 1/2 - 1 3/4 oz .

I went with CTS because no other surf rod manufacturer was willing to build me what I wanted . I wanted surf rods that offered extreme performance (Above and beyond ) what was offered by other manufacturers and requested very specific materials to be used and where I wanted them incorporated into the blank.

CTS did not disappoint , they really do build it the blanks exactly how you request it . I had to pay design fee's for blanks that were not already offered by CTS but it was very reasonable.
