Cant think of a decent 6' 2 piece blank that will fit the bill off the top of my head...but I do have an idea....

Rather than the blank breaking down in the middle, what if it detatched above the reel seat? A #1 Aftco stora-butt reel seat and collet would be perfect. The small #1 seat is a good size for a 20-25# rod, and can be fitted with the remaining graphite butt section cut off of the 6' blank of your choice to make the rear grip, would be as light as any similar one piece rod, and much stronger than a 2 piece feruled blank, without the "flat spot in the action, and will not work loose while fishing. The storabutt system is designed for heavier trolling rods, strength wouldnt be an issue at all. Only drawback would be that it wont break down into equal lengths...the removeable butt section will be roughly 15"(depending on the lenghth you prefer for the rear grip), and the rest roughly 4'6"-4'10".
