Hi,
I come to you for a little help.
I try to find a blank for zander, Soft bait, shore.
Lure 1/8-3/8oz or 1/4-3/4oz (5-8g to 20-25 g) something close to this.
Size : between 7'-213cm and 8'8-264cm
I previously find the NORTH FORK COMPOSITES SJ 703 XRAY. I heard it's the must have. But for me, to be honest, it's a little bit expensive.
Something really sensitive, with resonance, to be able to detect the most delicate bite from zander
Can you help me to find something in my criteria?

I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance :)

Thanks for your answer.
I'm from Belgium, and NFC dont send blank to europe. I tried. And I even send an email to know if it was possible to do it, but I Never received an answer.
Here, in europe, it cost 250€ to by this blank.

Valentin,

Take a look at the American Tackle Bushido blanks.... there are quite a few that will fit in what you are looking for.

I personally would look at the SJ series.

Rod Building..... It's What We Do.

Any 7'-7'6" Batson M fast action blank should work

Thanks for your answer.
I will look at your proposals. I come back to tell you if I find something that fit me. If you ever have any other suggestions, don't hesitate :)

Rainshadow has the Immortal walleye blanks, I'm told a similar fish, dealers in France, Germany, and Poland. Looks like they have a 218.4 cm and 228.6 cm versions of the lower power blank. They have always been fairly fast to get with me via email on my questions. They may have a suggestion for the other, also you may get some good info from your dealers in Europe.

If you plan to use your sense of touch rather than rod movement to detect bites then using gel-spun polyethylene line, pointing your rod directly at your bait, and feeling for the bite will probably be the best plan. A light blank is more comfortable to hold but guide size and placement will be of little importance using this method. If you plan to use rod movement to detect bites then low-mass gel-spun will still be your best bet for line and the lightest, most flexible rod will be ideal. I imagine you will settle on some compromise, and you alone can best determine the best compromise between sight and touch.

I plan to have the most sensitive blank, I mean sense of touch. I don't need rod movement detect. :)
