If no one else can point you in the direction of a shorter float rod blank, you might look over the 2-piece steelhead blanks for the length, action, and power you want.

Robert, I built on a Rainshadow rx7 11'-6'' many years ago. I find it adequate for a small stream steelhead rod. I even use it for river walleye around here. Works well. However, I would put the action more in the moderate range.
