Im looking for a blank to use for wrapping a fluke rod. I usally drag 4-6 but sometimes go as high as 10. I am thinking 7 ft also.

I'm no expert at all but I find a 7 footer has to soft of a tip for the heavier weights unless it is a HEAVY blank. I don't think you want to go to a heavy blank if you plan on doing any bucktailing with the rod. Just my 2 cents

Look at the Lamiglas Tri-Flex Graphite Inshore or St. Croix SCII Inshore Saltwater blanks. If the price is too high look for these at the Baston saltwater composites.

Fish poison blanks are fairly cheap and provide a lot of action and backbone kevin bogan has them

Take a look at the Seeker Hercules Inshore light. (Ins 72L) I've built 2 rods on this blank, and its about perfect for the weights you describe.. tough composite, with a sensitive tip, but buku power down low.. pretty much specifically designed for east coast fluking by Staten Island builder/fluker Billy Vivona.. a very versatile blank as well.. t^
