2wt suggestions?

I have a client looking for a 7'6" 2wt. I was thinking the St Croixs would be perfect but she's set on a 2pc if at all possible. Anybody know where I can get a 7'6" 2wt in a 2pc? She's also looking for a slow-mod action.
Thanks

Dan Craft makes an 8' 2wt. 2pc. in the Sig. III series, which could be built as is or trimmed from the butt to make it 7'6". Or contact some St. Croix dealers to the left to see who may have the 3F762 or 4F762 older 2pc. blanks left in stock. The 4F762 was definitely one of the blanks in that series that was not fast, with an AA in the low 60s. I built a couple of them when they were available.

I love my Sig III 8ft 2wt. Although I didn't build it to be super light( full wells grip & A5 reel seat ) It weighs out at 2.42oz.

Angler's Workshop has the Chalkstream series of blanks, the 7 ft 7 in CS7723 might be one to look at. Also Andy at Lamar Fishing may be able to help you in the CTS Vintage or Maxum series of blanks.

I second the vote for the Dan Craft 2wt. I built one a few years back and it is a great blank that makes a terrific little rod.
