Best Budget Fishing Rod Under $60?

Never had an issue with any of the All Star rods from Academy when I needed a cheap rod.

ETA: Looks like they have the Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 on sale for $49, normally $99. I've checked them out in the store a few times, looks like decent rods.

i get the quantum bill dance rod/reel packages at bass pro for that. Never an issue

As already said, All stars and the Veritas on clearance at Academy. I don’t remember the exact price but I think I paid around $60 for them, but another one I’d recommend is the Lew’s American Hero rods. They are also sold at Academy. I have a couple of them and they are actually some of my favorite rods. They feel great in my hand, excellent casting, and the action and power are exactly what I imagine they should be for what they’re rated.

ETA: looks like they’re $69.

I got an Abu Vendetta to complete a cheaper combo with a Caenan for topwater and for my dad to use a couple months ago and have been really impressed with it. I don't know how it compares to the model that steps down a little but if they're similar I wouldn't blink. If you're willing to stretch that budget a couple bucks the Vendetta looks with the caenan and my dad has prettymuch stolen it because he enjoys that combo so much.

Falcon hd is $69 and been good so far for me
