If it's for a special gift have Kevin Bogan make a custom rod.

Ditto on Kevin Bogan. He can use what ever color wrap you want, put their name on it, etc. He's made 4 custom off shore rods for me (some are nearly 20 years old) and they have held very well.

Thanks all. He has 3 Kevin Bogan made rods now. I offered to get him any rod he wanted for fluking including an Edge Rod by Gary Loomis. Basically he said the way he destroys fluke rods (3 in the last 5 years) he couldn't ask me to spend that amount of money. He chose a St Croix Mojo inshore 7 foot MHF which I'm getting this morning at one of this site's sponsors. Hope the coffee is warm. Thanks again for all inputs.
