Jeff,
You might want to try Batson's Revelation blanks. They are listed on the left hand of this page,

Jeff, x3 on the Revelation or even the RX6 blanks depending on your casting style. The Revelation is somewhat "faster" than the RX6, but both are nice quality for the money. I've built on both and they are received well. I am building an RX6 6'6" 4 piece 2 weight right now.

Look at the CTS site.
If you want graphite:
[ctsfishing.com]

If you want "S" Glass:
[ctsfishing.com]

The Quartz "S" G;ass is a very active, sweet blank.

If the new owners of Anglers Workshop did not change the Chalkstream series, they were excellent small stream
blanks. If they have changed, I would look at Batson using Utmost as a vendor.

Thank you everyone. I have built on a ton of Batson blanks but I have been out of it for about a year and the names of the blank lines have changed. I'm waiting for a price on the Revolution now.
