probably tough to find a blank, but might look for Japanese rockfish rods - I love my 7'9" XUL, and here's a high-yen 6'6" (with a dumb Japan name)

and here's one Brit importer of Japanese rockfish rods

Thanks for the suggestions.
There seems to be a low number of blanks, but i'm really into putting something together.
The "get bent" seems to be the cheapest, even though the cost would be doubled once shipped. I did hesitate because of the spigot ferrules, i would really prefer tip over butt.

About the 2wt being too noodly, i've already tried a 3wt and not quite satisfied with the noodliness(?).
I know that the wt numbers aren't an absolute science. So i guess the only way is the trial and error path.

I've also considered this:

Might be perfect.

There's also the TFO Finesse blanks, but their length does not match my wishes...

About the lower rating, i've even seen rods that are rated for 0g, but i've yet to see a bait that light =)

I've posted before about a St. Claire-blank https://fiberglassflyrodders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64916, and that i've some problems knowing what i really need. I've built a 6'6" 3wt that i like, but now i want to go shorter and weaker. Today i recieved a blank that was stated to be a 6' in length and 2-3 wt. But it really feels more sturdy than the 3wt blank i've used for my latest built rod, so i think it will be laying on the shelf for some time. And i'll be on the hunt again.

I really should be faster on the reply button.

I was refering to spinning rods with lure weight recomendation interval going from zero =)

Bloke is something to investigate, seems to have a 6' #2.

btw, it would help the context if you update location in your profile
