The good old swing tip, haven't seen one in years. There's an Oakwood combi rod on ebay for 20 odd quid. A lot of positive reviews. There's a few more also, but more money.

I have an almost unused Drennan " ledger master" swing tip rod with a good selection of tips
, bag, tube the lot. I think it is eleven foot, can't check at the moment as I am fishing. If you are interested pm me and we can arrange something. I live in the south west.

There is a Daiwa Matchman 9ft leger Mk11 on Ebay at present.
Unfortunately it has the lesser desired cork sheet handle that has mouse damage.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334201466414?hash=item4dcff5ae2e:g:lgwAAOSwuANhRdyL
The shipping is also "somewhat" high.
Mine is gloss black two piece overfit joint with subtle green whippings, black sliding reel fittings, six chrome high Bell's guides with no intermediate whippings, the tip and butt guides being lined, plastic overfit butt cap on a 24" traditional cork ringed handle.
A nice stiff, lightweight rod made in the last dying days of swing tipping before interchangeable quiver tips became the norm.
IIRC I paid about £10 + £6 carriage three years ago.

those blanks would be perfect for my little river, but cannot justify their cost, postage, along with the building materials, which would put them in the same cost bracket as a 2nd hand drennan alcolyte

Only just noticed the price and postage, I'd be tempted to message and query it!! Might be cheaper away from eBay etc. he seems to repair reels also Manchester based. I've no ties with them btw

Unfortunately lots of couriers have stopped accepting anything over 1.2m long , company i use now costs £32 for a tube does,nt matter if there is 1 blank or 10 blanks in it.

I just popped into the Tackle box for you mate, had a look, and asked Pete for advice and options, but like you have said, most rods are quiver tips included, or 8ft or 10ft in length.
Or spinning/drop shot rods of 7 foot.
I Don't think you want to be cutting a 10 foot rod down, and putting a screw in top eye on, do you ?
as that would stiffen up the rods playing curve.
The Korum phase 1, 10 foot float rod was nice for £30, No screw in eye though.
