Trolling Blank Suggestions, please

Hey there fellers...I've got a potential client. This is what he says he's looking for (I'm pasting it directly from his e-mail so you hear his words, not my description):

I could really use a long trolling rod
for trolling shallow water pike (I fish a lot of multi-species events)..
what can you think of for options on a long (12'-15'). I'm thinking
something stiff yet not real heavy with a major handle for ripping baits
through the weeds while trolling (handle at least 3')

I have no idea. I'm a bass and walleye guy primarily. I go much smaller than this stuff. What can you suggest to me?

Thanks,

AC

Look at Forecast SPEY rods or RainShadow SALMON- STEELHEAD style blanks. These would be a good bet for a taper-action and line-lure ratings that will fit your intentions. -Cliff Hall+++
