I am an avid Striped Bass /Bluefish  Fly Fisherman in Western LI Sound and am wondering if you can give me some advice and hopefully provide me with what I am looking for.  I currently fish with a Pflueger 89-90 9' 9 wt and am looking to upgrade to a better rod without breaking the bank.  I am looking for something a little stiffer in the tip without loosing that light gear feel.  I've become a good caster with this rod (60'-75' cast) but am looking for something that will give me a little extra cast length.  I currently fish the rod with 10 wt line and an Okuma 8/9 reel.  I'd be interested in either anothe 9wt or possibly a 10 wt in the price range of upto $150.   Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.
