For your price range a TFO is a GREAT choice. Check out Mystic Rods, they have the Reaper X on sale right now for $150. Haven't personally used them but I've talked to a couple guys that love them and I've been really eyeballing them with their current sale. Bomber fly rods look pretty cool but don't know much about them. Moonshine rods are another that pop up on my radar a lot these days but again, haven't had a chance to test them but they're right there in your price range. I personally use the Orvis Recon 9' 4wt a ton and I've been wearing out a Hardy Demon 10' 4wt lately. Great rods but may be a little higher than what you are looking to spend.
