Tell them to contact Stan Massey at http://www.alba-rods.co.uk/page2.htm.

 

He makes big game rods and exports all around the world. He builds to order. He will be able to sort them out for sure .I know that Stan has made a rod with a 5000 great white in mind,two men could not bend it

 

Check out his saltwater flies when you get into his website. I believe some deranged Geordie ties for him

The rod you are looking for is in Stan Massys workshop. 180lb class

 

You have more details by pm Elton

Is it the strongest, or the heaviest that he's looking for Elton?

It has to be the one with the highest test curve I would have thought. You could have a very heavy rod that might fail at 50lb test curve.

 

Would love to see this rod that Stan built. It was put into a proper rod clamp and Stan and a male assistant pulled as hard as they could together and moved the rod tip 8" WHAT

 

If I was a betting man would stick a wedge onto Stan

See what you mean, but I think we've got our wires crossed. What I meant was strong as in powerful, (heavy), or strong as in unbreakeable.
