Default light rod

hey folks,
as you may already know from previous posts i was planning on acquiring a new lightweight rod whilst in florida on my holidays (guideline fario). Well due to getting engaged my funds are now a little low so im now looking for suggestions for a lightweight rod i can acquire at home, max im looking to spend £100, am i wasting my time?. Ive seen a few and read up on reviews,
shaky trion 7ft 3wt
fladen vantage
truefly sla
is there any other rods i should be considering? any recommendations or advice is very, very welcome.
kind regards,
pearse

I have the trion xt 6'6'' 3wt and its a nice little rtod with a through to medium action but still able to put out 15 - 20 yards of line when required. £40 plus delivery from john norris.

The other one to consider is the odyssey xt (have the 7' 3wt) and though very good value, it is not as good as finish. but an almost identical action to the trion.

Have a look at the Sonik range.

FLY RODS

I have a Sonik 3, 8' 6", #4-5. I would certainly recommend it.
