Blank Suggestion 8 - 8.5ft

I'm building a rod as a birthday present for bro. He wants a 8 - 8.5 ft rod to use on the surf, jettys, piers. The target fish is stripers, blues, and everything in between. The problem is, it needs to be a 2 piece. I'm having difficulties locating one. Any recommendations is welcome! Thanks.

The below are some of the best performing surf blanks on the market , two are two piece and one is a 4 piece but all are 9 feet in length which is what i recommend as the minimum length for open beach fishing .

The RainShadow SW967F is a good suggestion. Specs for this blank can be found here: [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]

Here are two other blanks that would work well for your application:

BP1025F - [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]

REVSU90M - [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]

I will suggest you blanks from the length you are looking for.
They are expensive but very high quality.

Also, appreciate the weight of blanks.

Yes, not just weight :)
But it must also be noted that they have a smaller weight of the maximum lure (for me, 2oz is the maximum)
AND SUZUKI BLANKS have one super property for builders. The last piece of the blank has the same diameter. This allows you to build the handle from the back and you do not have to choose several sizes of components. One size is enough.
