Where can I find out more about these rods? I have someone that wants me to build him a Marlin rod, I feel confidant that I can do this. I just want to be able to read as much info as I can.

First, find out if he intends to use the rod from a fighting chair or from a stand-up position. Also, what type marlin are we talking about?

I intend to ask these questions. He says that he wants an 80lb class and 130lb class.all rollers, with an aluminum butt. I am assuming the shorter butts are for stand up and longer are for the fighting chair?

Sort of, yes. Overall rod length also has to be considered. It sounds as if he'll be going after blues or blacks.

One you find out where and how he intends to use them, a lot more questions can be answered.

Yes, blues and blacks. What are the differences between the IGFA blanks and all the other options? (Besides being e-glass).

Generally when you see an IGFA listed blank it's a full length type for sit-down fighting chair use.
