I would recommend looking at the Forecast RX6/E-Glass Composite blanks. The RCLB79ML could be a very good fit for you.

Keeping the butt diameter small on a long blank with a low price point is hard to achieve, you might have to compromise somewhere. In general the longer the blank the larger the butt diameter, also the longer the blank the more it costs. Long E-Glass blanks are a popular choice for catfish rods - there softer actions and durability is favored by cat fishermen while compromising on e-glasses heavier weights.
