Why does it have to be 10-11 ft zeke? I find a smaller 8ft easier for working plugs especially top water and they aren't as cumbersome when fishing off rocks or in front of cliffs. My main rod is 7ft and it can cast lures way out.

I always recommend the Grauvell Teklon Concept rod. It really is a superb rod for the money. It is light weight and get one with a casting weight of 10-40g and you have many bases covered. It will certainly fire out those lures you are using.
You should pick one up for around €150.

Try abu veritas. Lovely rods in all shapes and sizes and can be picked up very reasonably. Perhaps for 50 euro from UK with current sterling rates.

Check out the Yamaga blanks home page, when you've convinced yourself you need another rod
