Good evening, everyone!
I’m looking into the fishing rods I own—I’m based in southern Brazil, where these rods are commonly known as "Sportex." However, I can't find anything about them online; I believe they are high-end imports. They have the following markings engraved on the base of the blank: SU 3808 RL-234. Apparently, they were sold as bare blanks—without guides or a reel seat. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them…
Physical characteristics:
One-piece tubular fiberglass
3.80m (12'5")
I can easily use 200g sinkers with them
Extremely strong; there have been no reports of them breaking during use to date
Locally known as "Sportex Wall 8" (which is the model I have), though there are other variations like Wall 7 and Wall 9. I’ve seen people in Argentina using similar rods for shark fishing, where they are referred to as "toco."
