Looking for suggestions for 3 piece travel blank

I am looking for options for a 3 piece travel blank (spinning) for shore and boat fishing for pargo and snappers along the rocky beaches in west Mexico.
I want to be able to cast soft plastics in the range of 1oz to 1 1/2 oz, using 30-40lb braid, with the backbone to pull these fish away from the rocks. Is there such a blank? What do you think of the St Croix SCIV 4T76HF3 3/4-30z 15-30 lb test. What other options are out there?

I cannot use a 2 piece rod, I need sections no more than 36" or so.

I have built two Batson RX6 3 piece rods in their ML power. And it's much more capable than the normal ML. It is actually an Xfast action with a big, stout, butt, so it can cast light and handle heavy fish. Extrapolating to the next power up and it may be your rod. Check out the higher power version. SB843-3.
