    Define "cheap" ?
    Carbon fibre is definitely the way to go IMO. My main is a Daiwa 14', 3pc, bought many years ago. $200<400 iirc.
    Second is a kilwel 13' 3pc which was probably about $120.

    Only thing is CF wont tolerate abuse and if you do the shitscramble down cliffs and over rocks you'll snap em before too long. But they're super twitchy/responsive and have massive pull. Mine are "short-medium action" The daiwa could honestly use another eye or two near the top.

    Also got "the kids" some 7-9' Silstars carbon 2pc about $100 each, and they are awesome fun rods.
