You did not mention the types and weights of lures he is planning on using. As you probably realized it is difficult to find 2 piece casting rods. However, MHX makes a fair number of two piece rods that may fit his needs. The nice thing about the MHX 2 piece blanks is that you can get an extra tip if needed. For the money they are very nice rods of high quality.

Lots of two piece rods/blanks in the St.Croix catalog also. Than there are all the 3 and 4 piece travel blanks from lots of suppliers to the left if transport/portability is the biggest consideration. Re: Need recommendations for 2 piece baitcasting blank

A Blank is a Blank it is not necessary to just look at just casting blanks you can use a 2 piece spinning blank if the weight fits your needs length and lure/line requirements no matter what it is classified as example spey and noodle rods came from experimenting with fly rods.
Been doing it for years and never had a complaint NEVER NEVER be afraid to think outside of the box or experiment, this how rod styles and types are born/ discovered the same applies to with guide trains, handle configurations, The engineering, art ,hobby of rod building and design! The best day to be alive is always tomorrow !! Think out side the box when all else fails !!! Wi. Re: Need recommendations for 2 piece baitcasting blank

Once you determine the length power and action I would also recommend the Rod Geeks blanks. Super quality of which I have built quite a few 2 piece rods and have been very pleased with the performance , and the colors are an added option if you want something other than black

Hello Lawrence -- According to what length. power or action you may require, here are a couple of links to the 2 pc MHX Rod blanks, in either our MHX Spin Jig Series or the MHX Mag Taper
