11'-either the 132 1M or maybe one of the new SSU series of blanks. I've never used one of the SSUs and I'm not familiar with the blank characteristics. But, they are supposedly composite rods designed specifically to hold up to braid

11-1/2' you'd have to go glass, like a SB 136 2M for 2-3 oz. The graphite 11-1/2' from Lami is a beast--rated to 16 oz.

Or you could extend the 11'. But I really don't see a need for 11-1/2'
