Hello all,

I am building a rod for a buddy. Since I am a novice, I need some help selecting a blank. The requirementments are

The rod is going to be wrapped conventional, with a Penn 965. The rod can be no longer than 7ft. It is going to be a boat rod, and the inside storage does not permit a rod longet than 7ft. 80-90% fished as a liveling/drifting outfit for whatever is available herring, macks, pollack. An occasionally toss/drifting of eels. 10% is trolling with plugs. And tossing plugs and such at busting schools.

Targetting Stripers and Bass. And he is looking for the lightest action rod that will fit the above bill.

All help welcome.
