Trying to find a supplier for 6011 rods at sensible prices is interesting, I use 6013 or 7018 rods.

Theres a few suppliers on a well known auction site, They sell 6010 (if your set runs them, i picked up 20 x 3.2mm for £8.50 delivered, they run Okay, and a 62 pack of EV50's 7016's for £17 delivered. Good rods, run really nice.

I've always found that buying small amounts of loose rods is a pain, better to have a supplier with stock on the shelf, just down the road.

Then there's always pressure to completing/getting the job done, with a lack of rods..

Somtimes there is no other way, titanium tig rods for example , which are super expensive.

Totally understand that, its handy if you want to try out a few to see how they run before buying a few boxes, i remember years ago starting out learning i had a terrible buzz box and wasting my money on a box of 7018s that refused to work
