HELP! I Need Surf Rod Blank Suggestions

I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions for a salt water graphite surf rod blank. I'm thinking about a 11' 2pc 15-20lp test mono and can really haul bunker chunks and 1-2oz lures. Some idea of prices would really help me out. Does any one know about the SCIII surf balnks? Thanks in advance to all those who reply!!

Chris,
Here's one to consider : Rainshadow SU1264F
10'6" in 2 pc. 15-20 lb. line wt. moderate action or go up to
11'6" 20 - 30 lb. mod. fast action. These are graphite glass composite and good entry level prices.

St. Croix blank SCII graphite GS110M2 8 to 25 lb. test. Excellent choice but may be pricier compared to the composite.
I'll be glad to quote you prices or further info by email.

Chris,
Check out Lamiglas and the Ron Arra XRA132-2 or even the standard GSB series. The XRA will be close to what you are looking for.
Hopefully Todd from Lamiglas will jump in on this. They have a great 2002 catalog that Todd just sent me. You should have one.

Chris,
I would suggest the following:
from the Standard Mod series:
GSB1322L rated 2-5 oz

From the Ron Arra Series:
XRA1321-2 rated 7/8 - 3oz.

These and many others are listed on our web site.

Todd
