There are quite a few nice ones. I hear that the Cabela's glass rods are goodness. I have no personal experience with them.
The fiberglass rod forum is another place to visit. Plenty of opinions there, a good place to buy used.

TFO makes two glass rods. A 3/4 and a 4/5. I really have enjoyed them the past year. Had a 6 1/2 lb largemouth while I was bluegill fishing with my 4/5. Large fun! Great rods from a great company.

I have a CGR 2 weight from Cabela's and just love it.

I bought a 6/7 Wright & McGill off of Pearow a couple of years ago. He's a member on here. Might drop him a PM to see what he has currently. He is honest about what he has, too. If he says it's a good one, it is.

I just got this recently: http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Claw-Feather...le+claw+fly+rodI was very impressed with what I got for $25... outstanding value! It casts fairly well, looks very nice, it has a very nice real seat, even has a ruler imprinted on the side of the rod. Remember with a glass rod, the action is a lot slower, so you have to adjust your cast to compensate, but when you get used to it, its all good.

John 5:24 Very truly I say to you,whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life,and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
1Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.

When it comes to glass, Eagle Claw from Wright McGill makes some fine ones. My very first fly rod, which I still have and use occasionally was an Eagle Claw...very nice rods for the money.

Big Mc, I have a TFO BVK- 1 reel on the glass rod. Makes a nice combo.

Would you consider a trade for the fly rod and reel ?

Setup has become one of my favorites. Need to keep it in my arsenal.

I have lots of vintage glass and corresponding reels. What are you thinking of throwing in for a trade?
PM me with details.
