I'm building a 3 piece spinning rod for a client who lost his. It would be for throwing spinners in small creeks for trout. 6 foot. There doesn't seem to be many blanks out there. Any suggestions? I'm considering making it a combo fly spinning rod.

Rainshadow/Forecast makes the SB720-4, 4 to 8 lb., 4 piece.

You could also try a 5wt, 4 piece 8'6" fly blank and drop the butt section. I have a St.Croix SCII 4pc. and have contemplated doing the same thing. The fact that you want to make it combo rod supports this even more.

I had the same problems sourcing a travel light spin blank as well. Ended up making a 3-piece from an ols butt section and a 2pce 5 1/2 foot light spin rod that I cut down. Then Batson released the four piece SB720-4, which I ordered, built and am now fishing. A superb blank, a little faster than mod-fast, with a nice fine tip for casting light lures. Serious power kicks in halfway down the second section, and you can get some good pressure going with the third section bending. I spent today catching jungle perch in a rainforest river, and was impressed with the performance, tossing 1/16th oz jigheads and grubs into and around tight spots, mid-stream and bankside boulders. To date the rod has landed small grouper (estuary cod), barracuda, hairtail, giant trevally (to 6 lbs), mangrove jack and fingermark bream (golden snapper). To say i am impressed is an understatement. The rod has everything you need for light lure spinning, and packs down to about a little over 20 inches.
