Hello Steve.

Not much info, but yes depending what size you need, and to know that more info is needed like type and size of fish to be caught.

Pac Bay has a 6' in both 2-6# @ $33.54 & 4-8# $ $42.25.
MHX has 2-6# @ $18.95., 2-6 @ $42.00.
AMTAC has 2-6# @ $39.09.
You can always hit up Wally World for an el-cheapo and strip and redo.
These are just what I can find in just the MudHole catalog, there are bound to be more in other places, why don't you do a little hunting your self?

Bob,

New Bern, NC.

Steve,

I know it's more than 2pc., but take a look at the SB720-4 from Batson, it should be in your price range, and I've found it incredibly useful for everything from tossing small jigs for panfish to finesse presentations for bass fishing. Any young fisherman heading off to college or young professional looking for a rod to tuck away in the car for those spur of the moment trips will love its packability. I'm not normally a fan of multi-piece rods, as there is usually a lot of compromise involved when choosing a rod for a specific task, but the combination of action and power makes this a great option.

Joe, I have built on that blank many times and I agree it is a phenomenal gift rod. I have built 4 of them this spring for HS graduates. I'm looking to build up a cache of 2 pc rod blanks for kids builds as gifts and donations.
