i make my own out of bamboo so i do not know about any other rods. but you can buy graphite rod but you will pay more then 100 pounds.
G loomis, Sage, Orvis… the list goes on and on but it all depends on how much money you have to spend?

Orvis and G Loomis are going to be out of your budget. Try Spey or Sage, they should have a really good rod for the price. It doesn’t pay to go cheap for a fly rod and some of the more expensive models have lifetime warrantys. Check Cabelas bargain basement online, they usually have decent Cabela’s brand rods for a good price. Cheers from Oregon !
Fly fishing attempts to be an elitist sport so beware of being told you must spend a fortune its not true.
If stream fishing beware of a rod that is too long it just gets in the way stay at 9ft or less for the real world.
For the vast majority of trout fishing and 4 or 6 weight fly rod and reel will do fine cheap or used the fish will never know, try one line size heavier than the rod calls for if your a beginner and 3 or 4 ft tippet works fine you do not need a 9 or 10 ft tippet.
Most trout are caught on very tiny nympth flies that do not float you can also use any tackle and a clear plastic bubble float to cast any fly with, whole kernal corn or velveeta cheese or real worms work well also
Use a ski pole to help you in streams and put a belt around your waders waist to help keep water out when you fall in and always drift feet first downstream on your back and use your arms to slowly paddle toward bank, take out more trash than you bring in and release all your fish because I eat them.
