I usually buy Sage but I not want to spend the $$ this time
I my also buy a reel or use a Lamson reel I have spooled for 9 wt.

So I am looking at
Temple Forks $200
even All Bright rods

Any suiggestions?

Take a look at the Sage FLi. It's a recently discontinued line
and a lot of places are selling them off cheap. I have a 10' 7wt
I bought as my backup smallmouth/steelhead rod and I really like
the way it casts. The successor to the FLi is the Flight, I've
never cast one but the 4pc. 7&8 wts retail for $340.
