Inexpensive blackfish blanks?

Hi all,
I am checking if anyone can recommend an inexpensive blackfish blank. Hopefully under 70 bucks? Looking for mod or fast action that can handle 12oz sinker. Any ideas? My buddy is short on funds so I'm trying to get him something less expensive.

You could serch for the "Lep" muskie rod offered at bass pro shops. Not sure if they still carry it but worth a try for those on a budget.

Other than that, see if you can find one of the discontinued batson muskie blanks.

Too bad you didn't post this a couple of days ago, I just wrapped a few glass blanks I had laying around here for this exact purpose for "stock" rods when I go on the boat and people ask to buy something I can sell them something.
