Is there such a thing? Or at least one that would be serviceable? I'll be taking an albacore trip later this summer but don't have any gear. I'm also on a serious budget. I already picked up a solid reel.

Thanks!!

I'm not overly excited about the Albright rods, I've heard too many things about them breaking at the ferrules.

has anyone had any experience with the Ross Essence rods?
