I'm building one of the MXH ones right now for a customer. They are a tad faster blanks then most others in the same rating. The forecast 2wt is pretty nice and a lot more moderate action (which I personally like better in a small stream rod). So it just depends if you like the moderate action small rods or the faster action ones. Tiger eyes are nice (I've build 100's on them over the years) but the Tiger eye 2/3wt is actually more of a 4wt IMO. Take a look at American Tackles 2wt Matrix series as well, those are very nice and a nice smooth mod/fast action. Another good option would be a Dorber 2wt. I've built a few of those and they are really nice, only about $40. made in the USA (AZ) and I believe they are also a FAOL sponsor if I'm not mistaken.
