Dude, I don't know you and I'm not trying to be a jackass,but have you considered going to the Rod Room and looking at blanks?????? The best selection of rod components in the South East is 10 miles from you.You'll get to see and feel the parts and you will save $25 on shipping.

Ditto.....................

i wish it was 10 miles from me but i did think about it but wanted to ask on here in case someone could give me any good ideas before i go there some time this weekend

Your going to have to go between Monday and Friday because they are closed on the weekend.

^^^ya that happened before thanks for the reminder

You might want to look at the rain shadow Ip903.

The batson xp963 and xp964 are both great rods for those applications. The 963 is more of a light bait rod where as the 964 is better for artificials.

Iv got an xp964 that is a great all around rod and can king fish with it also.. Also have an ip963 that is sweet for free lining little baits( live shimp, baby Ly) or throwing light plastics

I built a Rainshadow Ip964 and it pairs up pretty good with my vs 100
