Default Recommendations for 6wt fly rod under $200

I lost the tip of my 30-yo fiberglass pack rod hiking to Grebe Lake
so...

I would like to replace it with a 4-pc 6wt but I can't spend much more
than about $200 dollars. I have been told something about a Temple
professional and a Scott but I don't really know those names and I
can't afford Loomis or Sage that I know of so any and all help is
appreciated.

If you're used to fibreglass, a Temple Forks Pro Series might be a rod
to try. Its not a fast action rod compared to some of the other
suggested rods. If it feels too slow, then maybe a Temple Forks Teeny
or TiCr might be a little better. All are 4-piece rods.

Another possible alternative might be the CV2 rods offered by Bass Pro.
There's a 3-piece 5 wt CV2 that might do the trick.

All the above are under $200.
