Overhead Surf Rod builds

[Webby08]

Been looking around at what was available off the shelf in regards to overhead surf rods as found there is very little around.
Sensor Surf 11"
Penn Prevail 12"
And a couple of $100 glass jobs here and there.

Any of you built anything interesting in this regard? (I run a Torium 30 on 30Lb throwing bait and metal up to 150g) Prefer 12-13ft High seat (trigger)
Any stand out performing blanks

Particularly interested in any trick looking grips/seats etc on overhead surf rods.

I just finished a 11' surf rod for a customer.
Used a CTS S8 blank, Fuji SiC surf guides, rubberized cork tape grip, Fuji rubber butt cap with Fuji real seat. I also made 4 Turk Head knots on the grips as well.

Any photos?
Anyone with a custom overhead surf rod Im also interested in hearing from you Re:builder/cost/satisfaction with the end result.

No photos mate, but I have been building high performance over head surf rods for years. I guess it will all depend on how fancy ie $ you want to go. Most of the over head surf rods I build are on custom blanks, the performance is in the 1/3 of the blank so you can pelt a lure over the horizon.

Whats available blank wise for a good 30lb rod 12+ft for rock/beach that's nice and fast.

Webby,

The CTS S8 Surf blank is one of the best surf blanks you can get.
One thing I must warn you about is in my opinion, I think they overspec there blanks or underestimate them; which ever way you'd like to consider it.
So, if you want a 3 oz rod, order a 2 oz.

Looked at a couple of youtube videos of these they look pretty nice probally be around the 3-6oz, 5-8oz will have a look around. Anyone around Sth Est qld got either of these blanks made up into a rod?
