Some of the newer rod companies focused jigging and throwing lures at tuna, GT's, etc; using some similar graphite technologies, are also planning to build rods for surf fisherman.
Not sure what the end result will be or if and when it will come to pass. It's easy to forget "surf fisherman" aren't just in the NorthEast US so the tapers may or may not be that interesting to us.
The prototypes I've handled (but not cast) don't have the "originally built for carp" taper Big Dave was mentioning, for better or worse.
