Hey guys, I'm going to be purchasing a van staal 150 loaded with 30 lb braid. I want to get a custom rod built but I just cant figure out what blank to get, I've looked at them all and I'm not very familiar with spinning rod blanks. Im looking to get an 8 foot 6 to 9 foot rod for the pier. Throwing cobe jigs, snook, tarpon, kings, jacks, bonita basically everything. I was thinking about the American Tackle blanks. Let me know, thanks

gator, sabre, calstar, lamiglass, seeker maybe? these rods i have seen out on the piers with the beef to yank in those cobias but the whip to jig for snooks

Just an average fisherman.
