Hello all

Usual question here.

I'm attempting to have a go at building my first rod. I wanting to build a conventional jigging rod for 250-350g.
I'm finding it difficult to decide on blank within my price range. I'm looking to spend no more than $200on a blank. Lots to choose from I know. Import cost can add a bit to price aswell v what is available locally. I'd rather go local so any recommendations?
