Any suggestions for a spinning rod blank setup for skipping docks with braid to flouro leader and weightless soft plastics for bass?

From RainShadow we’d recommend our REVELATION lineup - [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]
REVS62M or 68M – Depending what length you’d like
Also the REVS68MXF

Ok thanks the customer is 6'6 so a 6'8-7'0ft is what I was considering I'm smoking those two blanks over for now. He wants to go all out on trimming weight and increasing sensitive. What guides or series of guides would you suggest for this task?

I put Minima guides on a store bought rod last year to increase the sensitivity and it worked great.

So will he want to go with Titanium guides?
For us we'd recommend ALPS Y-Guide TIY and down to ALPS F-Guide TIPF - there is SS316 versions as well.

This is from a basic blueprint for our REVS68M for guide placement (you can go smaller), measured from tip top.
1st - 06 - 4.5"
2nd - 06 - 9.5"
3rd - 07 - 15"
4th - 07 - 21"
5th - 10 - 28"
6th - 16 - 35.5"
7th - 25 - 44"
