Slow pitch jigging blank recommendations

I'm looking for recommendations for an SPJ rod for targeting 100lb class bluefin out of San Diego on a head boat. My buddy is going on an SPJ specific multi-day bluefin tuna trip out of San Diego in May and needs a heavier SPJ rod. He is well versed in SPJ but has never needed a setup quite this robust. I've never built an SPJ rod but would love to give it a shot for him. I know the usual blank manufacturers offer SPJ blanks but I'm having trouble finding something beefy enough and long enough for this task. It would need to be 7'6" ballpark and stout enough to handle those triple digit bluefin. Also, any tips for a bass rod builder stepping up to target big pelagics?

Thanks, Herb. I'd looked at your blanks previously but didn't see anything long enough for what I need. Do you have longer blank options?
Also, your max jig weight is under what I'm looking for on the link you provided. Are there longer and heavier blanks available? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/01/2023 09:23AM by Patrick Coco. Re: Slow pitch jigging blank recommendations

Patrick,
I strongly suggest looking into a spiral wrap if you are building a casting rig. I like the Simple Spiral. Also, I'm not too familiar with slow pitch saltwater jigging for triple-digit fish....is a 7'6" rod the way to go? Re: Slow pitch jigging blank recommendations

It will definitely be spiral wrapped. And typically spj rods are shorter, But when fishing on big head boats, a longer rod is needed for a couple of reasons. Re: Slow pitch jigging blank recommendations

Thanks, Geoff! That 7'6" XH might be just what the doctor ordered. I order almost all of my components from the lovely folks over at Voodoorods.com so I'll shoot them an email when I'm ready to get that build on. Re: Slow pitch jigging blank recommendations

Patrick are you looking for a slow pitch blank or a heavy jig blank? They are usually not the same. Re: Slow pitch jigging blank recommendations
