2-pc. Walleye Blank Recommendations?

First time poster here. Just gave away my first "official" rod (not made for friends or family) to my church's Sportsman's Breakfast for a door prize. I now have a potential customer asking about making a 7'6" walleye rod to give to his dad for his trip to Canada. Mostly jig fishing with plastics and live bait. Just looking for some recommendations on blanks.

Thanks for your assistance!

I have not used MHX yet; is everyone's experience favorable?

Thoughts on the SCv 5S76MLXF2-G-10?
