Rod Blank Help-Question

[Bucknbass01]

I am not a big poster on site, do more reading and following of ideas. I now have been stumped and asking for help/guidance. I had a rod I loved, and decided I’d order from factory a replacement just like it. however when I got new rod in they had changed blanks, the difference in the two is night-day. I would love for someone to help guide me and let me know if I can a blank like my old rod.
old rod is a “smoke”. And what’s is on side ( HSX 70 Graphite million hi-strain graphite. SKC705 F )
any help on this will be greatly appreaciated
thanks-Andy

That won't help much, you need to measure the blanks power and action angle to start comparing blanks, then we have to compare materials, then we can make an educated guess.

10/4. Thanks… I’ll start there, cause I have no clue

Rod is Med action Line wt. 8-17. Lure wt 1/4-3/4

That could be sooooo many blanks, everyone has a 7' M blank. Here's just a few

Rainshadow ETEC72M-SS or IMMC72MTC or REVC72M-SB
Liberty MB703
Hydra OSMB700M or BS843F-Ng
Rod Geeks C270MF or C470MF or B270MF or B470MF
Point Blank PB701MF
NFC probably 5 or more models that fit that bill

duplicating or even coming close is going to be real tough without both the old one and a new blank in your hands.

Your lead in says that you ordered one from the factory that was to be just like it...but, wasn't. It might help if you put exactly what you ordered, from whom, and when? Just thinking out loud.
