If you google 2 weight shootout a group in Ohio did a comparison of a over 20 2 weights. It is a little dated but many of the rods haven't changed. I have the TFO signature 6' 2wt as well as a 6'6" Tiger Eye 2/3 wt that I build and I like them both. The tiger eye is a 4 piece which I like and I built it so that makes it top the TFO in my book but the TFO is a good rod and can be had fairly inexpensively. I have an Okuma SLV 2/3 that I use on both rods that I love in this size. I've seen it on sale in a number of places for as low as $40 but you have to be patient and keep looking. Regular price is around $60. If you're interested in building a rod, a short 2wt is a good rod to learn on and a really good rod can be build pretty inexpensively.
