Get with Todd Vivian at Mudhole for a guy who knows that kind of fishing and probably has the largest variety of blanks for you to choice from.

I'll suggest a Talon Blank# B174 11ft 2 pc the catalog rating is 8-16oz but true rating would be 6-12oz. Really an awsome bait blank that loads well and isn't super heavy.

Mike,
I would recommend the SA1086F for that. We even list Plunking in the application chart for that model. Now 10 oz. is a lot of weight so you would be lobbing it with that blank. If you really want to sling 10 oz. you will need to look at a surf blank, in the surf area we have the LSBT1202M which is a composite blank and would handle those weights a little better.
