i am looking to build a 7 mh spinning rod for a friend and he wants it cheap.... where could i find one? like sub 20 buck range.

Probably the mudhole custom builder blanks.

Thats about the best you're going to get unless you find someone who has overstock of blanks or is trying to get out of business.

Scott Parsons- fish sticks 4 you
has a bunch of discontinued blanks you might could get a good deal on

Ditto on Fish Sticks, they had a ton of trash can blanks at the show and I thought they were going to continue the sale for a little while. These blanks were pretty nice stuff. Better check with them though.

Steve hit it on the head Fishsticks has what you need and priced where you need it, the ATC closeouts are what your looking for. Although it may be the weekend before Scott can get unloaded and re=inventored.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious!

Check w/Lance at Swampland .......... he had some Great 7' rods for cheap at the show ......

Not sure where you live, but in Houston TX a store called FTU (fishing tackle unlimited) has lots of blanks from $10- $20 I bought a few of the $10 MH 7ft to use to practice new techniques on. They are decent blanks also. They bought out a company and just clearanced out all the old blanks by putting them in bins and making them dirt cheap
If you do not live close by I would go with a sponsor on the left.

Rodbuilding, cheaper than therapy.

Rayon what out what ever you get a cheep blank may get you cheap results. I think you need to know what manufacture you want style and serries. Is there a warrenty. Are you also going to also put cheap guides and a reelseat on also. I think your question should be where do I get the best buy for my bucks. I would also try Utmost for desent prices. Also remember where you live shipping cost may out wave the cost of your product. Just my 2 cents

Ryan, You stated under $20 so I recommended looking at Fish Sticks. I know Lance at Swampland had some very nice Castaway blanks for $25. I just got an order in from him and they are beautiful.

For the money, it'd be hard to get better than the Mudhole house blanks. I've built several and they've all turned out to be very nice fish catching tools.
