Shorter version of an IP840?

Looking for a blank having a similar action as an IP840, but in the 5'6 - 6' range. I guess I could cut a foot off the butt (a lot of waste), but wondered if something fairly similar may already exist. Building up a UL spinning rod for trout.
Many thanks, Mike Re: Shorter version of an IP840?

Look at the Batson RX6 SP720, or a little more power SP721

Unless you are fishing some real tight stuff, I wouldn't discount the 7 ft. blank, the fish all feel bigger, and a longer rod holds more line out of the water giving a deeper and more natural presentation, especially live bait presentations. Re: Shorter version of an IP840?

Thanks very much Ron and Spencer, appreciated - I'll look at those RX6 SP's Ron. I really like the 7' length myself, fun blank, this is for a stream fisherman though who is looking for one a bit shorter. Re: Shorter version of an IP840?

I like Victor"s choice and the REV comes in different lengths. I just built a 7' 2" for a friend throwing 1/16 oz jigs for Crappie. It is a fine blank. J.B.Hunt Bowling Green, KY Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
