I am looking for something that used to be popular but not so much recently. Need to find a 9' light plugging rod with a lure weight casting range of just about 3/4 to 2 ounces. It needs to be 2-piece and if possible have a 30/70 split. GUSA made something like this years ago. I don't see anything along these lines from anyone now. Is there something out there that I'm missing? Thx.

ODM Frontier X 9'6" 3/4-4oz 2pc 70/30 split is the first and closest thing I found. Maybe check CTS and Century. None of these are inexpensive.

MHX has two piece 9' that covers the range your looking for but I didn't find the split specified.

Another of the sponsors to the left, Get Bit has Black Hole Cape Cod 9'2" rated 3/4-3oz with 60/40 split. (at least the factory rod is described that way)

CTS has a bay rod that meets your criteria but it's only 8' 3" in length.
