Micro light blank

I have a Quantum microlight rod. It's 4ft graphite. The tip broke on it aND they don't seem to make it anymore. Can anyone suggest a blank? I would like something with a fast tip. Most of the micros I have seen lately are noodleish. I am looking for something stiffer. Any suggestions appreciated.

go with the 4'6" St. Croix, you will be very happy with it. It is one of my favorite UL's of all time!

I would go longer for better hook sets and better casting distances. 7 feet is not too long unless you're fishing brushy streams. Check these out, fast action would be better given your interest in a blank that is not "noodleish."

Here is a line of micro lite rods that might work for you.
