SW Popper Rod and jig rod

Looking to build a saltwater popper rod and a soft plastic inshore rod. I’ve been out of the conventual tackle game for awhile. Looking for rod spec recommendations or specific blanks. I use mostly NFC fly rods so I am partial to their blanks. Thanks in advance.

Sorry. Both spinning reels. 20lb braid. Typically 3000 series. I used to use the big Cajun poppers. I’ll probably go back to those. Maybe 1/2 oz jig heads on the other rod.
