I would also look into Cal-Star blanks. They make waht they call the long range series specifically for tuna spinning. Lengths from 6' up to 8'.
I've built quite a few rods, especially slow trolling boat rods, with their blanks, and have been VERY impressed with the actions they have.
I build Tube N' worm rods that I call "Automatics". With the drag set at 12lbs, the action of the tip recoils at the release of the drag to actually set the hook on the fish. I have not missed hooking a fish.
