There are two older series useful for surf fishing, plus a new for this year "SUR" series which I know nothing about.
Their SW series are very similar in action to the original Sabre blanks, which I understand that a close friend of yours knows very well
The SU series are a faster actioned series similar to the All Star blanks.
The SW 1088 and the SU 1087 blanks are probably the ones you'd be most interested in.
CMS has the blanks and probably has a few ready-built rods on the racks.
I think that mike cc still has a decent supply of the blanks.
I don't know about current pricing, but the SW series used to be well under $100 for the 9' models, and the SU series were in the $110-$125 range--closer to $110 for the 9 footers.
A built 9' custom on the SW blank should run right about $200 from CMS.
