I would have to cast another vote for the Allstar 1145-2 pc. I have it in a custom conventional and its a super all around rod IMHO. Solid 1-3 rod, but it could do 4 oz if you had it. Retail on the blank is ~$120.

I made a convention St Croix 10' - 2 pc ( old style Ben Doerr) last spring and the rod will definitely not like 4 oz. Its a more moderate flex than the Allstars. I use it w/ Bombers (7/8 oz) and metals in the 2 oz range. I wouldn't go 4 oz w/ it. The newer style SC blanks are a lot different than the old ones. I haven't met any one whose made made a custom out of these new style blanks.
