There are so many good blanks for under $100 these days it would hard to pick just one. Browse the manufacturer's websites or call your favorite dealer and see what he or she is recommended these days. It would help here if you'd list what you plan to do with it - what you'll be fishing for, the lure weight range you toss and that sort of thing.

Well that certainly makes a huge difference. Hang tight and someone who does that type of fishing will hopefully chime in.

The best I could do is suggest a musky type casting blank, but that may be way off base. I've not fished for either of the species you mention. I have some idea, but not enough to be confident in making a specific recommendation for you.

Mark,
Use the search function and put in you fish species, there are quite a few Aussies and they may have made some earlier recommendations.
