Look at Rod Geeks. I built a 10', 4 piece, 1-4 oz, rod a few years ago and am very happy with it.

Check out Rainshadow REVT94XH-4SB (available at Get Bit). Blank is 9'4", 4-piece, rated 15-30#, 1 - 2-1/2 oz. I haven't built on this blank but I had a Rainshadow 10' 4-piece (which appears to be no longer available)- it was an excellent travel rod and I expect this blank will be also.
