Josh,
Todays quality rod building materials for blanks really don't have a temperature sensitivity issue.
Purchase the blank of your choice from any of the quality blank suppliers on the left, made of the material of the manufacturers choice and enjoy your days on the water- no matter the temperature.

Take care
Roger
