you can get a 6 ft eagle claw 4/5 wt for about 30 bucks. i got one a few years back and still use it from time to time.

 

I have had a couple of those over the years and have ended up just giving them away. They are not bad but I'd like something with a little more power.

I love my phillipson 6 footers. i've had a Master 6 foot 6in that is now at the bottom of the current these days and i currently have a phillipson fly fox.  They're both solid 6 wts. i love old glass rods so most of my stuff is vintage or built myself.  i also have a Garcia 2535 which is a 6ft 6in that i stripped down and rebuilt. it is a 6/7wt.  they come up on ebay and are reasonably priced.
