I've got an 8wt Greys salt water rod I bought from Wholesale. I've used it to catch bonefish and similar sized fish in Mexico. Greys is a pretty well-regarded English rod. Not top end but good quality. Reasonably priced (under $300) and I was quite happy with it. Paired it with an Orvis Hydros reel. I got an 8 as I wanted it to do double duty with tropical and also pike, etc. here. I have never used it on the latter though. If I had it to do over again and get a rod for just the tropics, I would do what you are doing and get a 10wt.

Make sure you get a reel with sealed drag, anodized, that's rated for salt, and rinse it every night.
