Are you partial to any brand in particular? I would love to find something that is economical but at the same time i dont want to buy a pc of junk either. I see Scheels has a 9′ medium fast Ugly Stik for $80. I just dont want to buy it and find out is garbage. It seems to have good reviews just not alot of reviews. Also I will be buying one for my girlfriends son so I dont want to be spending too much because I still have to buy the rest of the gear other than waders
