I need a low budget pole within 50$ that would match this reel: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_94740_100001002_100000000_100001000_100-1-2   It is the best reel I have used and it cost me a lot more than it does now.

Wait till BPS has their Spring Sale and pick up a Tourney Special M 6'6''.  They usually have them for around $29.99.

Try Gander Mountain, they have some real nice rods for $ 50.00. The Pro Select, and there Guide Series. 8-)

PERFECT MATCH FOR THAT REEL FOR ME, COMES IN AT 60 BUCKS'

FENWICK EAGLE GT 6'6" MED

I've picked up 2 Fenwick Ventures from Walmart that are both nice. They cost between $40-50.

Hey Bass doc Those are great rods, i should say were, Fenwick discontinued that line a few years back and you can't find em now

Thanks Muddy. I guess the ones I bought were left overs since I picked up one about a year ago. That would explain why I haven't seen anymore at that store.

Yea I look at every Wal mart I go to seeing if there are any leftovers!

allstar classic series 49.99$ at academy.

The BPS Tourney is on sale right now (2-1-2008) at BPS Foxboro for $29.99.  You can get them on line too, put then shipping applies. I grabbed two on Friday. Well worth the money.

There are all kinds of good rods out there for under 50 bucks.  I prefer to feel the reel I am going to use on the rod I am going to put it on.  I have had reels I liked on rods I liked but didn't like the combo.  Search your local stores hard for a good clearance sale, then try that reel out on the rod to see if you like the way it balances and feels.
