Haven't fished in over 20 years. I'm getting interested again. Can
anybody
recommend a light weight, very inexpensive, graphite rod from someplace
like
Dick's?

TIA,

Bud

You'll find that for the most part equipment like Rods and
Reels have become pretty inexpensive, most of that having to do with all
major manufacturers having them
made in China.
If you're a freshwater fisherman, your state fishing license
cost probably went up.
You need to specify the type of fishing and maybe targeted species if you
want any advice in choosing.
