Price range?
I've owned a few pack rods - I just got a Cabela's Wind River 8'6" 4 weight that is a 4 piece rod. It packs down a tad longer than you're looking for - but my initial impressions are high for this rod, the more I cast it, the more I like it. It's an easy casting rod with a nice moderate action. Rod retails for $89, but they had them on special when I bought mine, and I got it for $45 with free shipping (they were running a free shipping special earlier this month on all fishing rods)
I used to have a Cabela's Fish Eagle 9' 5wt 5 piece, it was a pretty good rod. I'm not sure what they run, or if they even make that model anymore. I got mine in-store from the Sydney, NE store back in 2000 - and I think I paid something like $110 or thereabouts.
My favorite though, of all time, was my Cabela's Three Forks 7'6" 3 weight 3 piece. I adored that rod - they still make them too. $50 give or take for the rod alone. That was a better casting and fishing rod than others I've had that cost a lot more.
Wish I could help you more - but these are the rods I've got some good hands-on experience with.
