I got a Shakespear 6' 2" Medium action graphite for $17.99 at sportsmans a few weeks ago. Great rod and no complaints.

They had a dozen or so.

zias have you noticed if the length of the pole has increased your casting distance. i know there are other varibles to this. however i think you shouuld be able to tell

Yes I have noticed an increase in distance. My other rod is/was a 5' 5" in UL. I can get about another 12' of cast out of the longer rod.

I am quite pleased.

You might try this - first check out the really good expensive rods - G. Loomis, St. Croix, etc. Flip them around a little, try not to clobber a store clerk, and just see how they feel. Then go to the cheaper rods and try to find one that comes closest to matching the action.

I admit I haven't done this myself - but next time I am going to.
