best rod blank

I am looking for the best multipurpose (king and cobia) rod blank. Any suggestions?

What length? Reel? And line type/size?

8-9ft reel not sure but definetly spinning. Mono 20-30lbs test

That's a very broad selection ... I'd say a t90L

T90l or seeker ps90

There's no such thing as a great blank for both. For kings you need a light tip for casting baits without flinging them off and for cobia you need a much heavier action for driving a 9/0 hook and lots of power to control the fish at the gaff.

+1, the best multi purpose blank I've come across is the SWB 80M, but it has many negatives for both

Apparently you have never hooked a decent sized ling from the pier. That rod doesn't have enough ass to stop one from swimming between the pilings.

So what would be the best king rod blank?

like I said, negatives to both of them, alittle stiff for king baits, but not stiff enough for a ling over bout 20lb
