You could probably get some custom built Torrix for about that price. My mate has some and he really rates them. Free Spirit S lite may be another option.

Free Spirit S range are excellent rods.
I would look at second hand Greys Aircurves, then you'll have some spare for bait.

If I was shopping for rods with that budget I would look at the Code rods. From what I have seen and heard a very good rod at a decent price. From mass produced rods, as already recommended, I can personally recommend the Greys Aircurve in 3.25lb TC, a brilliant all round rod for the money. I'm sure the newer Aiircurves will be as good amd more readily available, and still in your budget

Anyone compared The Aircurves with some of those FreeSpirit Blanks, that are very light and slim?
I realise they're not AS slim, but still slimish, but what about the weight?
Was thinking of getting one but can't stand heavy Rods

Just to say I bought a pair of E Class Gold in 3.25lb. They cast really nicely and its hard to say anything really bad about them. That said I had half a dozen fish between 19lb and mid twenties on them but just didn't enjoy how they felt. To me the rods were clinical but felt totally soulless. It seems like other people quite like them though
I swapped them out for a pair of Harrisons Aviator Flex and they are a totally different league, albeit £90 more.

The Aircurves are deffo heavier than the Seeker rods. But the Seeker rods are deffo feeling very cheap as a whole, but try them in real life if you can.

The e class gold in 2.75 are a v nice blank imo, but agree about the 3.25, bloody awful.
