Three or four piece spinning blank for throwing tube jigs

A friend wants me to build him a spinning rod to throw tube jigs on the Green River. I only fly fish and have know knowledge of that type of rod. I would appreciate any recommendations from this knowledgeable group. Thanks in advance.

Species? Which Green River? Micro jigs for trout, or 2-3 inch tubes for smallies? Boat rod or bank rod?

Need a 0 power 6'6" or 7 footer there, in the SB and a 1 power in 6'6" in the SP series. Any plans to expand the travel rods in RX7 graphite?
