Part of the joy of fishing comes from trying out new equipment. Nothing beats tearing the plastic wrapping off of a cork rod handle and the first cast you make with that new rod!
For around 50 bucks you can consider Berkley's Lightning Rod. This rod is available in a 6'6" or 7 foot model and both casting or spinning applications. Designed for optimum use of modern super lines, you're free to match any reel you choose with one of these rods.
If you have more money to spend, you may choose a rod from St. Croix. This respected member of the angling community is proud to introduce their Mojo Bass Rods to their extensive product line for only around $100 USD. Bass anglers will have a rod specifically designed for their needs in both spinning and casting models. If you're not a bass angler, you can still be proud to stalk any game fish with one of these rods.
Looking for something less expensive? At the other end of the spectrum you have Zebco's 202 and 404 spincast combos featuring 2 piece 5'6" medium action rods and a spincast reel which comes spooled with 10lb. line. Retailing around 15 and 20 dollars respectively, you get a rod plus a reel so anyone can afford to give angling a whirl!

If you like spinning outfits, you can choose from Shakespeare's Durango line. Match their rod with your choice of reels or mate it with a Durango color matched spinning reel and you're ready to hit the water! The rods can purchased for under $10 and the reels are well under $15 or the pair can be purchased in some areas as a combo for under $25.
Until next time--watch your line and watch yourself!
