Surf Rod Blank

Hi Gang,

Need advise on a surf rod blank. I have an Uncle that fishes the Canal for Stripers in the summer and for Reds and Snook in FL in the winter and he has asked me to build him a rod. Looking of 10 - 10 1/2 ft Graphite or composite that will be used as spin caster. His reel of choice is the Penn 9600 Spin. He will be using 15lb mono throwing no more than 4oz of weight. He wants to use it for Bucktails and cut bait. I build rods but have never done a surf rod or done much surf fishing. Any suggestions on blanks choice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance
