Whatever kind is on sale at Walmart.
I have an antique square steel rod I'm going to try one of these days.

Boron is the lightest and most sensitive. I love the rods but just don't
use them in cold weather and be careful with them. They will evenually
break with even the best care.

That's why I like spent uranium rods, super dense so you can feel a fish
just swim by the line, they are totally unbreakable, even in the coldest
weather. It is true they are a bit stiff, a a little heaver than the
others, but look at the arm strength you can build while fishing, it
turns fishermen into real athletes :-)

I haven't shopped for a new rod in a while. Are they still making Boron?
The ultra lite Shakespear Boron spinning rod that I have is maybe 25
years old. It cost about a hundred buck way back then. Who makes them
now and how expensive are they now?
