I'm looking for a 9 foot plus spinning rod.  Currently looking at the Trout Magnet Trinity Rod.  Will use this in place of my fly rod at times for throwing micro jigs or midges etc.  I have a couple of 8 footers now that do fine but looking for something a tad longer.  Anyone have a suggestion?  The Trout Magent rod is $159, are their cheaper options like the wally marshall rod that's okay or better for the money?

Years back my dad had a nine footer that he had converted from a fly rod to spinning. That would be another option for you. It did look goofy to me since the reel was all the way on the back of the rod though.

When I was a youngster fishing Bennett I used a spinning reel on a 9’ fly rod to dead drift glo balls on 2 pound test.  Absolutely deadly with that setup.
