You didn't mention length but I would take a look at Dave Lumbs rods, all top quality Harrison blanks.

DL Fooler is a rod I still rate very highly, but these days I find myself using longer, two piece rods with fast actions. The Daiwa Prorex AGS 7'7" 30-70g is awesome. I have several AGS baitcasting rods from Daiwa, the 7ft 70g is the lightest one in my collection - super sweet rod for small jerk or swim baits, spinnerbaits, surface lures, etc and now my go to rod for bank fishing rivers and drains with lures up to say a couple of ounces. RRP is £250, but if you shop around, you can find that rod for around £100. Pairs perfectly with a 300 or 200 size reel, I use a Curado K 201 on mine.
