OK ….. here’s the deal. Capt. Dan wants to build his boy a rod for Christmas. So I'm shopping for a quality blank.

I’ve been fishing saltwater for 50 years and have built 6 rods in the past. No pro but just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

I realize that my goal would be best served as a TWO rod application but entertain me a bit here.

My objective is a rod (blank) that will be sensitive enough to wreck fish 4-8 oz for Sea Bass, Tautog etc. but have the balls to drag Mojo’s around for 20 – 40 lb. bass on the troll. I know …… I know.

Any thoughts on blank options or otherwise are appreciated.

Thanks .............. Capt. Dan
