What action? Need to know what rod you really like. And no, you cannot Bill Dance lift fish with a fly rod.
I have had one St. Croix "RIo Santo" and hated it. Harder than heck for me to try and load it. Loomis, don't trust them anymore as far as warranty. They just don't seem the same. Lami, is great. The Bug Slinger is a Kelly Galloupe streamer rod. Might be a great choice although they come in 8 and up.
What Sage? And what price you talking.
Check out Allen Fly Fishing site. The Icon is made here in Heber Utah. A Mid/Fast rod with a give at the tip. The AST is a mid flex, I have that but it might be a bit soft for your style. The Xa is a faster action. Very popular rod, and the Compass is a mid action but little faster than the AST. Great roll caster. Tell Justin or Evan Joni sent ya[
].
It will help to know what rods you have fished and liked and what price limit.
