Default Best rod/line for ....

For several years I've been trying to improve my performance in one specific
fishing situation. I'm hoping to make this improvement via buying new
stuff as the only other apparent choice would be increased skill ... i.e.
not likely to happen

The Scene: You are sitting in a boat/ kickboat/ float tube and have just
laid out a long ( for me this is about 70 feet or maybe a bit more ... you
can visualize 90 to 110 to suit your skills ) to the "12 O'Clock position
.... floating line, #16 dry fly. A fish starts rising, quickly moving
through your area, at the 3 O'Clock or 9 O'Clock position, again a long cast
away. You need to get your line in the air, it's direction changed, and
a reasonably gentle presentation ( stillwater, very flat, spooky fish ) made
.... and ASAP.

The Question for those of you that keep up with equipment technology: At
this point in time, what specific combination of rod/ line is available that
YOU feel will do this one thing ... pick up a long line and represent it in
a new direction at a distance .... best ( money no object :-) ...or best
( money must be considered as you only do this particular fishing 3 or 4
days/ year )

Rod weight? I'm flexible, but fly size will be #14 to #18, conditions calm
to light breeze, stillwater and spooky fish ... long casts ( for me ) a must
