Ive had an eye on ebay for quite a while with no luck unfortunately.

I'm with you on going small and light. That's where the fun is! I caught a couple steelhead this summer on a 8' 2-6lb ultralight which sparked a new desire for a light limber rod. Using gear that light allowed me to throw 1/8oz lead /w an 18" leader. The rod is just a cheap shimano. I'm looking for a higher modulus graphite for more sensitivity but not something that will blow up on me. The batson REV series is a nice stick but doesn't look like they make a 2 piece anymore. Still searching for the right one.
