Shimano sensilite, I think is a one piece, but they are like ghosts, shimano slx sells has a medium light one piece, also check diawas rods, right now a one piece light may be hard to find, a medium light rod I wish you the best of luck in your searches

6' is going to be hard to find.  Most rods that go down to 1/16 are geared towards crappie and panfish, and they really love their 8'+ rods right now.  

 

The best I can think of that meets your criteria is a BPS Fish Eagle in light.  6'6", 1/16-3/8oz. and is available in a 2 piece.  I have one in medium light, and it's not bad.  It's a bit heavy for what it is and not super sensitive, but not terribly so.  A decent rod for the money.

Spinning or casting? Can it be a little longer? What target species?

Spinning. I really want it 6’. I’m targeting trout 

st croix triumph/premier would be perfect I love the feel, they’re just 1 pc.

Looking for something similar. Want to get myself a trout/creek rod for this upcoming season so I’ll be following this thread closely. 
 

In my research so far, there is an Okuma Celilo which is 6ft but 2 pieces. It is rated 1/32-1/4 oz, it’s an UL…so not exactly what you’re looking for.

They have the Premier in a 6’6” light 2 piece. I have one and it is an amazing rod for trout if the extra 6 inches isn’t a problem. Can easily break it down and walk along a creek

What kind of reel do you have on it? I was planning on a stradic 1000 but wonder how it’ll balance on a 6’6” er

I currently have a 2000 size Regal LT on it which weighs 6.7oz I believe and balances really well. A 1000 Stradic is about 6.5-6.6oz so should be about the same

The okuma celilo is a really nice rod. Currently on sale at Amazon. The field and stream rod is a nice one for trout.

X3 on the Celilo - I got the 7'6" UL for my crappie fishing, and it's really a nice rod for the price.
