Rod blank question

What blank/length would you choose for a live bait and snobbling king rod? I'd like to get one put together-might as well get started on it...

I like a 8 to 8 1/2 foot medium heavy with a fast taper (15#-25# class)

Thank you Bill, I thought you might have bought that one.

No, been trying to find 2 pc for travel purposes in the future.....most likely will travel as always....although this trip going home alone ,the rod tube was inside with me instead of up on the roof rack

RainShadow RX6 or RX7 - both have 2 piece options in the weight class you are looking for. I have not built one yet - but will before fall. They were recommended by my rod building group as a 2 piece light weight King rod.....

I have my favorite 2 pc king rod already.....hasn't failed me yet.....old school conolon.....been getting a few up here, just need to fish them, couple Fenwick's look interesting.....debating on rewrapping? Might have already been done on a few guides?.....maybe make a trip to J&M for advice.....John sure was right about the treasure I fish with now
