I'm looking into buying a new medium to medium heavy action rod under 50 dollars, preferably available at bass pro. Any suggestions are useful, thanks.

 

Stating if your looking for a casting or spinning rod would be my 1st suggestion.

 

Waiting for a sale at BPS if it's your shopping place of choice would be my 2nd suggestion. They currently look to be in that between sales period. You'll get more bang for the buck with sale pricing.

 

 

Ugly Stik elite for sure

Berkley Lightning ($40) or Berkley Lightning Shock ($50) are popular sub $50 dollar choices. Both are available at Bass Pro Shops.  Walmart has the Lightning Shock in some lengths for $40.

I have both in spinning rods and prefer the handle on the Lightning spinning over the Lightning Shock. The regular Lightning feels lighter to me and I prefer the hook keeper. I do not like the hook keeper on the Lightning Shock as sometimes the line gets caught. I'm using Pflueger President 30 size reels on both. Good sub $100 combo.
