mangrove snapper rod blank suggestion

I am looking for a seven foot blank to build a mangrove sapper spinning rod, fish in the ten pound range, 80' to 100' of water on the west coast of Florida using a 5000 series spinning reel with 30 lb braided line and baited circle hooks. 1 to 2 oz sinkers.

I'd rather be catching!

Hi Eddie
Look at the CTS AIR 7'0" 3/4 - 1 3/4 Oz. One or two piece.
They have lower as well as higher ratings

NFC 703 or 704 Pelagic saltwater blanks, I have caught your fish and much larger on both. Myself, I would grab the 703, but I have no idea how much lead and bait you are using, by the way the 703 should read 1 - 3 oz. not lbs.

In the same range as the other options given is the United Composites, GUSA UC70H. The double helix construction is strong and still pretty light. The moderate-fast action is very versatile with bait and jigging. The more I build on and use blanks by United Composites, the less I look at other makes for vertical saltwater fishing.
