You may have to try ordering it over the internet. Thery're used a lot for Salmon and Steelhead so there isn't a big market for them down here.

I think I saw some decent looking ones at Sport Authority. Big 5 sometimes has deals as well.

Waly mart had some 2pc Rod for sale, give them a try.

i didnt think there was any market for them here?! LOL
i need it to cheat for casting till i hone my surface skills..
i seem to choke under the excitement when the boils erupt and 1/3 of the time i end up tossing a NICE birdsnest in haste..

the walmarts here in oside & vista dont , only huge ones, and neither did sports A..i will try the internet as a last resprt, just wanted something cheap & local first so i dont have to wait..thanks

I found my nine foot Quantum Omni at Bass Pro shop in Rancho Cucamunga. It's rated 15-40 lb with lure weight 1/2 to 4 oz. I think the combo was 89.00.

Find a blank with a 30 lb rating and have a basic wrap done on it.

That would be the best way to go!
Pull on a couple blanks you like, and get it wrapped. Plus the rod will be exactly what you want... you choose the components, you pick your favorite color scheme, you get exactly what you want...
After shipping and handling, an online order wouldn't be much cheaper than a custom wrapped rod.
(BTW I wrap rods... )

The Wal-mart in La Habra had some thay are like $80. and Santa Fe Springs has them too. Thay come with the reel or you can just get the rod.

O'side right? Go over to CBad lagoon (dog beach) and practice hucking it, and get to know your jig stick and reel and find your groove. You never know you may get lucky and foul hook a 30 lb bat ray and actually get to feel your rod bend for once like I did. I pretty much doubled the cranks of the handle by spending a about 1.5 hrs over the course of a week or so. All so I dont blow my load early when the opportunity presents...
