Are low/mid end Shimano rods have all the same blank?

Hi
Looking for soft plastic rod to flick around shallow waters (1-3 or 2-4kg)
and came across low/mid class Shimano rods $120<
Example raider, Catana, Starlo, jewel, Sahara, SSSv2 and bushy rods
Just want to know if the blanks are all same?
All it says in the catalogues is Graphite is the main material.
If this is the case
I have peace of mind to just buy whatever feels the best in my hand for the money.

From my experience they are different blanks e.g. Raider and Jewel

Love my Starlo Stix Tournament Pro 731

Sadly, no more in production from 2014

However, have 2 in use and 2 BN locked in the vault.

I have just purchased a couple of the Raider Soft Plastics rods and am very happy with them. Have read a few reviews and all seem good.
