Kelvin 2,200 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 For what purpose?Surf, boat, game?There are many great blanks available. For the light bream to heavy snapper rods, Samurai are great are available in Aus. I've ordered a few Purglas (South Africa) blanks from WA and they are also awesome for surf and landbased use. Rodworks also stock USA made St Croix blanks and they have a great reputation.Kilwell livefibre blanks are also very nice and I've got a pair of bream rods built on livefibre blanks.

Kelvin 2,200 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Purglas used to be stocked by Campbells Protackle in Perth. They no longer stock them but if you keep a look out they occasionally turn up second hand. They are an awesome blank and have a great reputation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
