my favorite rod for casting jigs which was a wally marshall signature series by lews got broken this weekend.. im not sure if I wanna pay the 50 bucks for the rod and the 20 dollar shipping charge.. or just ride to pass bro and spend the 70 bucks there..what are some other good 6'6 to 7ft rods good for throwng a 1/32 4lb line and a small pear bobber that's in the 70 bucks and under range
I suggest start at Wal-mart or any where that sells rods and get several in your hand and see which one feels the best and meets your needs. I have found that the price of a rod does not always make it a good one, the fish don't know or care what kind of fishing rod you are using! It is what is comfortable to you. I have purchased cheaper rods and have been very pleased by the way they perform against higher priced rods.

Keeper, where are you from? Flemings Candy Company can order them for you for less than $50...any length. They are between China Grove & Salisbury on Hwy 29. All of my casting rods are Wally Marshall Signature Series. Been using them since BPS carried them. Can't get away from them as I have given me great service paired with Shimano spinning reels.
charlotte..but I would make that trip since I work close to Salisbury thanks.. I heard a lot about the candy company I also hear that he can get the st Croix surf rods for cheap..

The graphite microlites at bass pro are good rods for the price.About all I do is cast and I like the 7'6" ultralight in these.These rods are IM6 and are 49.00 and 39.00 on sale..I have a Gander Mtn IM8 7ft ultralight that is about 5 years old and has been a really good one and is great for roadrunners.Have not been able to find them in their stores lately only the IM6 ones hope they didn't stop making them.Another good casting rod I have is the Shakespeare Agility IM8 in 7 ft.All these are good medium priced long distance casting rods and the next step up are going to be 100.00$ and up.Team one of the rods above with a Diawa SS 700 and you can make some super long casts.
My favorite rod in that price range is a Norseman ESP. Great rods!

ESP rods have micro guides, so you won't be casting slip floats easily ... but, pair it with a wide or long spool reel and some quality mono or copoly line and you can sling a jig or jig/clip-on bobber a good long ways.
I also recommend taping the reel to the handle, and then push the slip rings over the reel foot ... just as insurance against the slip rings coming loose.
This is how I did mine :

7ft Okuma Celilo light action spinning rods. I own four of them and I absolutely love them. I can cast a 1/16oz. jig a mile with or without a float. The price varies for each model depending on the length and they range from 4.5 to 8ft long. None of their models cost over $35. You can find them at FishUSA.com or eBay.com.
