field & stream ranked the redington pursuit the best fly combo under 200$ and it is a tremendous bang for your buck at 154-174$! Love mine.

I just bought the 6-weight TFO Lefty professional. 4 pieces, 9'. I really like it! It's got a pretty fast casting action, but is flexible enough that 1.5pound bass are still a blast.

I'm in with the TFO Professional II Series as well. Great rods for the money. The TFO BVK rods are also really nice and they are a little lighter and smoother in my opinion, though slightly out of the price range you were looking at.

I could build one for a little bit more than that.

Went with a TFO Pro II, but wound up getting a 8' 4wt instead of what I originally thought I wanted. Casts great!
