For the money Castaway. I have 17 of them and love them. They are also great to work with if there are any problems.
I sent a jerk and twitch rod back, it broke more than likely it was my fault. Sent in $15.00 and had a new rod in less than 2 weeks. It is hard to beat that.
For a little more money Airrus rods are what I would go to if I was going to change. I like to keep with one brand of rods. Airrus will replace any rod for any reason for life! And unless they think there is a manufacturing problem you don't even have to return the broken rod.
