John,
More information is required for accurate suggestions; stand-up or trolling or fighting chair, what kind of harness if any, size of the targeted fish, reel drag capability and other factors help determine a proper blank. That being said, I personally prefer Cal Star and Seeker for my tuna stuff; I am admittedly unfamiliar with swordfish.

FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!! BUILDING YOUR OWN SIMPLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE.

I have built several stand up tuna rods on Seeker blanks that have seen double duty as swordfish rods....but as Mark said....too many variables.
