Surf rods

Hi.I'm new here,as you can tell.
With all this down time I've discovered this wonderful place and have been reading a lot of your posts before I decided to register and there are A LOT of knowledgable people here.
Over the past few years I've had this casual obsession(ok,complete addiction) with lite tackle plugging.I've been using 7'-7'6" 1pc. Uglystiks and Uglystik Lites with Penn SS and Slammer
reels.Nice inexpensive setups that've served me well for the most part on my budget.
But I'd like to step up a notch.I'd like to get more distance out of my casts and the short lengths of my current rods make fishing places like 2nd beach and similar places difficult when there is any type of surf.And I'd like something a little less tiresome to cast.
Understand I'm still kinda a poor and can't afford a custom Lamiglass rod or a Vanstaal reel,but there's got to be something
out there affordable but a step above what I have.
Any suggestions y'all could throw my way I'm sure would be most helpful in pointing me in the right direction.

Your friend and fellow fisherman,

Basswipe
