Thinking about doing a build for pier fishing Boynton beach and Juno piers and also using at a surf caster.

Already have an 11 ft emcast that i purchased down there last year that is fairly light. Am considering something a little heavier somewhere in the 8–10 ft range for live bait.

Talk to some of the folks on Juno pier and they hold the BU-BA3K86/20-40 as the best option.

Thanks.This is around the size/weight i was thinking could even go another 1’-1.5’ more and a little more back bone.

Hello Francis.

I don't know if it came out or not, if not I will dig up the paperwork and give you the #'s.


[www.rodbuilding.org]

Well the old memory strikes again I never got the #'s on this rod, it's just a glass blank with a custom handle but here goes the blank butt is .820 the tip is a 9, it was listed as a 25-30# but I always thought40-50# and treat it accordingly.
The handle is interchangeable between a short(12") boat rod handle with or without gimble, and a long handle with mushroom caps, the seat is a 2 piece chrome over brass 3163, the guides are all CER in a cone of flight configuration 8-10-12-16-20-25-30-40, and aCERT8-9 top.

She still works fine, I built her in 2008 before I retired.
If you are going to be at the EXPO I can bring it down with me and show it to you in person, if not I hope I didn't waste to much of your time.

Thanks for the info. You are referencing the ICRBE expo? No plans on the expo as of now. Have never been. But who knows. It is my 1st year in getting into this and liking it so far..

Hello Francis.

Thats the one, let me know if you decide to go and I will bring the rod with me.

In my opinion a 9’ 1-4oz medium fast surf blank would be Idea for piers and jetties.
