I'm thinking a custom build off some stand up salt blank.

In the “expensive and JDM” category there is the Megabass Lilypad Survivor.  It’s rated 3/8-1oz.  Also the Daiwa Black Label lg 631 mhf-fr which is rated 1/4-1.5 oz.  I have been eyeing both of them but have yet to pull the trigger.

Something similar to a Dobyns Mag Heavy. I like 6'6" rods and want to find a rod like this to lay the wood with jigs.

Right now I'm stuck with 7' Heavy and try as I might I hate fishing them. The length is too awkward. I'm dead set on 6'6" if such a rod exists.

I know someone chuckleiconed® the cut down a longer MH rod post above, but that is actually the best way to go short of building a custom stick. There is no reason why a blank needs to be built or modified keeping the original length. Of course, one would have to have a good idea as to what the finished product should fish like, a seemingly foreign concept in the "InterWeb® help me find a rod" culture we find ourselves in. A lot of custom surf and Jetty sticks were and are cut down a little or a lot from either or both ends.

LMAO...

This caught my eye because I'm thinking of buying one for BIG spinnerbaits:

If this isn't what the guy was looking for, I don't know what is:

 

"MBR785 GL3 is the most powerful pitching rod we make! It' s got a magnum power butt-section with an extra-stiff tip. It will force even the biggest bass away from trouble, no matter how big the bass or how thick the cover. It is a really good choice for fishing peacock bass in South America and it will handle large pike and muskies... no problem. This is the "Big Mac Daddy" for close-quarters, combat bass fishing. GL3 gives you a great rod at a mid-range price. Value and performance... a great combination!"

 

 

Love those MBR tapers, they keep fish pinned regardless of what lure is tied on without ever feeling under powered.
