Well, thanks everybody for these pieces of advice.
I agree with that : the debate on rods can be endless.

One of the points I mentionned is that I want an American brand; please read "American blank" !
I love Fuji rings they're not American but are present on most quality rods !!!!!

Maybe some more hints to help me chose : as far as action is concerned, I'd like something the "old" TICA 8 feet 3 oz 1 piece rod I already own and the new Dolphin (which are much softer !!! The 5 oz seems to have a good action but is not well balanced, too heavy on the tip)

I also checked a fenwick surfstick at Quaker Lane this afternoon, the 4 oz looks a bit overrated and the action is too soft.

As I said previously I don't think I have time to go custom...

And another question, for my personal culture : who still makes blanks within the USA ? I mean how many plants/workshops really produces some ? I think that in France there is only one left ...
