I agree with Wakina on this one. I actually like my Berkley Big Game 7ft rods I got from Walmart, not only for the price, but for the performance/action they give me. (They are the white ones) They were less than 25 a piece from Walmart. Another good solution is 7 ft Ugly stick rods. I have several of these as well. A hint however, is get all of the same rods so they act the same when trolling.
