Wal-mart or Madame K's, Scientific Angler, 9 ft. 5-6 wgt or 7-8wgt same length, for $19.95. I use the 5-6 wgt as my night rod. If I fall on it and it breaks, oh well. Now I need to find a really cheap good reel to go along with it. I tried the Martind but the line gets caught between the spool and the reel body ; what precision! RR
