Casting rod

 Hi guys. 
I was hoping to get some recommendations on a new casting rod. Looking to replace a demon blood s8'3 2-4. Loved this rod, but managed to snap the top 3rd ( don't ask!), and they don't make this model any more. Will be paired with a Seragosa 5000, or Stradic 5000 with 30-40lb braid, mainly to cast for dolly's and also tailor etc. will also be using in the boat, so not too long.

if anyone has any recommendations I would love to hear them! Ideally not wanting to spend more than $300.

thanks heaps!
