Using the chart above and your arrow length is 28" using a 100 gr tip, for 45-49 lb draw you're at the high end of a 500 spine arrow. Personally I would opt for a 400 spine. Three reasons: 1 if you so desire you can crank up the draw weight all the way to over 60# should you choose; 2. The stiffer/heavier arrow will be easier to tune, quieter to shoot, and have less stress on the bow and 3. Will give you added spine should you decide on going to a heavier tip.
I suggest calling an arrow manufacturer such as Easton or Gold Tip.
