Hello Greg -- Actually in the Mud Hole Value E-Glass blanks, there are only two pink models -- SPSWB7L-Pink rated 10 to 15 pound test line and SPSWB7M-Pink rated 15 to 25 pound test. The SPSWB7M is more along the line of what you would want to use, in the Pink E-Glass blanks. Thank You for your interest in our products.

Thanks Bob. you are the reason that i use Mudhole.

Greg, also take a look at the Mudhole IM6 Graphite blanks. These are about the same cost as the E-Glass, and are incredibly good values. I bought a couple of pink ones to build for a couple of little girls, figuring they'd be serviceable-but-nothing-special blanks, and I was very pleasantly surprised by them. I like the blanks so much that I'm going to order a bunch of them to build and give away -- how could anyone say no to a purple fishing rod with hot pink thread wraps?

A 7-foot model would be perfect for your applications, the L (probably) for fluke and smaller bluefish, and the M for bigger choppers. If it were me, I'd use one of these over the E-glass blanks -- I like them more, and think they're a much better value. And yes, they're all available in pink.
