    Thanks for the reply.do you think that rod would be suitable for small to medium size river where the trout can go up to about 3lbs as I was thinking of something around 6-7 wt

    I will be using mine for mainly sea trout on the river blackwater so it might be a touch heavy for what you want but they might do a 6/7 rod also

    If the trout max at 3lb a 5# would be more than sufficient and give you great sport as well. Sonix Lite are great quality at a decent price. The kind of mid range priced rod that is a lifetime job.

    I have a airflo nano 9' 6 weight I was fishing for small jacks last year and got 2lb trout on it had some fun with the trout its around your budget, and quite good I think
