Although all my other set ups are conventional , I think a spinner is better for what you describe.
Anyway ,if it has to be conventional I agree an ABU 5500 would be good.
Steelhead rod blanks work well for schoolie rods. i have a lami GSH 108-2MH. had it for more than 15 years , maybe 20. I use it in the fall and spring for the small schoolies. I have mine built spinner though.
A loomis 965 is also a great blank for what you are planning.
