ssu 1201m sounds like it might be a good fit for you, especially if you go custom with small light guides out to the tip, super light, super sensitive. ss101ms is the factory rod on this blank.

I dont know if I would call it fast in the traditional sense, but its faster than some of your other options while still taking a nice parabolic bend down to the butt if that makes any sense.

If the ssu1201m is too light for you, maybe the ssu1201mh would be a better fit, ss101mhs is the factory version of that blank.

also the xs101mhs is a gsb1202m blank, gsb1201m being the one piece version so if you liked the 2 piece definitley check out the 1 piece as well. dont think theres a factory rod made on that one though.
