Hello fellow anglers, 

I am looking into purchasing a new rod. I want to buy a 7'1-7'3 mh rod for jigging and need help deciding on which company to buy from. I do not want to spent over 80 dollars. Currently I have considered Favorite Rods and No.***. Does any one have anything to say about these brands? Or if you have other suggestions that would be great!

Thanks so much!

that´s a very nice deal.

Around 80 bucks either get a tatula xt from Sportsmans outfitters or save just a little more and get an aetos if they are still on sale on the Fenwick site or a regular tatula. The tatula XT is a really nice rod that retails over 100 though and it would work fine. The new fate chrome rods from one three look good at your price range, but I don't think they have been released yet. Some models of the *** *** by the same company are on flea bay for 80 also. If the length you want is available at that price,  it's made by the same people that make the *** rod but has better blank and components. If you could deal with a shorter length, the powell max 3d 684 is a great rod for target casting about any single hook bait including jigs, and I use mine for square bills and lip less too sometimes. Its probably the most versatile rod i own. The aetos is definitely the best deal though imho. Super nice sensitive rod with a clean build, titanium guides, and a lifetime warranty.

I bought 2 shocks today at walmart for $9 each

Fenwick Aetos at slightly over your budget but way more rod. Or the Academy H2O XPRESS™ Ethos I hear is a great rod value well within your budget.
