I know they're cheap but my pinnacle limit 12 footers work just fine for me. Think they were $60 for 4! Lol. Heck at that price if they do break I'm not gonna get feelings hurt.
Im like you haha im to cheap to buy more expensive rods. I have 4 pinnacle 12 footers and 4 west point 12 footers and they do fine spider rigging or pulling cranks! Its all in personal preferance on what rod you like.
