Whatever rod you get make sure you buy it at academy so you can run over it with your truck and swap it for a new one!

Guarantee I catch more trout than an ugly stick on almost anyday using plastic. But especially during the cold months

Depends on the application. Fishing popping corks, sensitivity is not much of an issue. When fishing light jig heads in 12 - 15 feet of water, I need all the help I can get.

weight and action is definitely an issue though. Go fish all day with an ugly stick and a popping cork.. your wrist will be killing you. Allstar actually make a popping cork rod and its perfect for a cheap popping cork rod

I have owned several rods and the biggest thing I can argue about is weight. I have several that are cheap and outlast my expensive ones. Most rods blanks are extremely close in build/design. I am on the fence with this, if I pick one up and it feels good I buy it. The end user owns the rod. If you like it, buy it.
