    Looking for a blank

    I am looking for a spinning rod blank to give to the AOY of my youth club.
    I am looking for spinning rod blank 6'8"-7' M action. looking or something to throw a drop shot and finesse baits on. I want it to have a nice tip with some back bone also. What blank do I need to look at.
    Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!

    Batson ISB822.5. Very nice finesse/dropshot blank, won't break the bank either. A step up would be the XSB822.5 or St. Croix 3C69MLXF

    I second Scott's suggestions
    One other blank to look at is the Castaway XP3 842 (Swampland)
    I built on that blank for a finesse jig/plastics rod and I really like mine, maybe even more so than my two ISB822.5's (also finesse builds)
    Just another option
