Building a rod for a friend. Looking for recs on a good Inshore boat rod for Montauk.

Person does striped bass and also deeper water bottom fishing so looking for something that hold some heavy weight in fast currents when in Montauk, but not a heavy broomstick.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Was thinking one of these? Don’t really much about blanks. Just finished my 1st project which was a rebuild of an old Penn rod.

You can get a good recommendation from the NERB site. (North East Rod Builders). Supplies also.

Yes i have looked at that site before due to other members recs and just ran through it again now. Can’t find anything regarding blanks unless I’m missing something. More just wraps and thread. Definitely impressive tho.

Francis,
Look at the CTS BayMaster 7'0" - or 7'6" 4 power . Sweet spot 4-6 oz sinkers.
If you need more holding power - the 7'6" in a 6 power. My son has both fpr boat fishing on NE ocean wreaks.
He can under-hand lob 12 Oz if needed on the 6 power. Sweet spot is 6 - 8 Oz.

PS - note that site says BayMaster SPIN. I built them as conventional, however. Great blanks - not much $ also.
