Sage TXL, Not cheap but you will likely be overly happy with it. I know there are a couple others but can't name them off the top of my head.

TFO makes a 7'3" 2wt in their "Finesse" series. You should find it very enjoyable for panfish and the price is extremely reasonable.

Hi check out CTS for a moderately priced but good blank - they have the full range. On the really high end have a look at Burkheimer. I spoke with Kerry the other day and he tells me he is busy working on a new 2wt blank (seem to recall that there were 2 lengths). Knowing Kerry's rods it will have an ERN of 2 so it will be very close to what you are looking for. Remember the TXL range of an ERN a bit higher than the number of the rod.

Brandon,

The Sage is an excellent choice but rather pricey.
If you wish an alternative try a spinning rod blank but the options will also be slim at that length and line weight

7'6" IM6 Target Butt Dia .200
7'6" IM7 Target Butt Dia .190

Possible options

7' IM6 Target Butt Dia .175
7" IM7 Target Butt Dia .165

Tip dia 4/64 Max , 3/64 or 3.5/64 preferred

Search thru web sites and catalogs but this is a very light blank.
Good luck
