Hi - Looking for suggestions on a multipiece blank for a spinning rod throwing paddletails on 1/8 or 1/4 oz jigheads, twitchbaits, and popping corks (the cheap ones).

2 piece preferred over 3. ideally 7 to 7 1/2 foot.

3000 size reel. 10 lb braid, 20 lb leaders.

Most of the specks will be about 15-20 inches, redfish and snook mostly in the 25-30 inch range, Some bigger fish but not building for the monsters. Fishing Sarasota Bay.

This will mostly be a boat rod and get some abuse.

As always, the great advice I get here is truly appreciated.

Jay
