Check out the Lamiglas certified pro series
X 86 LC-T if you want light action.
X 86 MCT med action with ex-fast tip.
They only make a 9'in heavy action, if you plan on using bobers or floats alot go to a 9'6" or 10'you'll want the extra length for keeping the slack out of your line.I have the 9'6" med action
nice rod paid 150 for it no complaints.
