i am looking for a rod around 10ft give at the most a foot for plugging bigger plugs such as 3oz pencils and dannies and 3.5oz and suggestions for something under 175

A really good bang for the buck is the Tica Dolphin..

UGSA10MH2 available in both Spinning or Conventional.

Another to look at too is the St.Croix Triumph line of rods.Picked up an 8'er for better half over the Winter.Nice rod for the price and its has a 5yr warranty,but its a little more pricy than the Tica.

Triumph 10'er
TSRS100M2 10' M Mod. Fast 2 8 - 20 3/4 - 4 12.6 4 $120.00

You can do better than a Tica for $175.

Quarrow ;)
