You can't go wrong with a Mudhole Blank for price & quality, although they are plenty of options out there!

I agree with Donald, the MHX blanks are a good bang for the buck. Try the MB783, or the SJ783. They are very similar to each but the spin jig blank has a little softer tip and a slightly faster action, giving it a nice light and crisp feel. This will make casting from a kayak a little easier, but still plenty of backbone for worm fishing. Both can be used as spinning or casting rods.

From the RainShadow lineup we’d recommend our Revelation REVC68M – a high performance blank at a great price. [www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]

I made 2 rods for the same application with a Rainshadow walleye blank IMMWS62MXF. One I cut to 5'6" and the other I left 6'2". I wanted the most sensitive and lightest rod I could find and it works. I use 6 and 8 lb mono and a super light reel.
