Title says it all, I am considering these rods below. Dont want to spend over $200 and dont want a telescopic rod. Im a big Kistler user but cant find anything in the 7'10" non telescopic range besides a Z Bone but dont have that kind of cash on me. Any input or suggestions will help thanks

Duckett Micro Split Grip Cranking Rod 7'11"

Of the choices you have listed I have handled the KVD rods and they are very light. They are a Glass/Graphite combo but again only handled them in bps.

Lamiglas SR 765R 7'6"

Powell also has a great lineup of glass crankin rods.

Of the three listed, the Quantum is the best choice.

Powell and Dobyns have some good crankin sticks but of the ones you mentioned the Quantum is the best IMO
