I made a nice ballsy stick by taking a SB 136 2F blank and cutting about 18" off the butt. It's about 9'8" or 9'10" long. Lami used to make a MB 114 blank that was 9-1/2' long and could be cut about 6" from the tip, but I'm not sure if they still make it. It's tough to find a good quality glass factory rod.
You might want to check out the Lami Tri-Flex composites, too. I think they come as both blanks and factory rods. I've never used them and when I've flexed the blanks, the tips were too fast for my liking.
