Big Mike,

Pacific Bay...PacBay is the company you heard of, they do make some of the sabre line. The line class of stick your looking for is huge for sharking. You can do a search for Pac Bay and find plenty of info.

I built a sharking rod on a Calstar Blank rated for 40-100 line class. Calstar makes some nice blanks. I haven't built on Pac Bay blanks. Many people use them for they are allot cheaper than some of the big names and you can sell rods at a more reaonable rate. I am sure they are a fine rod for the money.

Calstar is Leon Todd, the guy who originally owned Sabre when it was still Sabre and not Pac Bay.

Pac Bay crapped up Sabre's surf rod line-up. I don't know what, if any, changes they made to other product lines.
