Why not go with another Berkley?

I have a couple of St. Croix Avid rods and really like them. I went with the Avid over the Wild River because of the lifetime warranty (as opposed to the 5 year on the Wild River) but the Wild River is around your budget.

I also have some Lamiglas rods and have always been treated well with them.

It is not 9 feet in length but Cabelas has a Shimano® Scimitar Salmon/Steelhead Spinning Rod 8.5 foot spinning rod rated for 8-17 lbs for $30 if you buy on-line.
