It’s not only about strength for rods …
you need to look at the action…casting weight… length … construction material… grip…match your reel set…spinning, BC ..multiplier etc…

You can get a lower end high quality rod at your local Wal-Mart. Get a Shimano Spinning reel (2000 series) and a Fenwick Rod (6’6). Combo for under $100 and I use one all the time for my bass tournaments. Great shakey head rod.

the fist question is are you going for large fish or small fish. fresh or salt water? For fresh water and for medium to pan fish a 6 ft 61/2 ft spinning rod with(2 piece) a 8 lb line is about a safe a bet as I can give you with that little information. If a sl larger fish a baitcasting reel would work but takes more practice to use right. A spin cast reel if you have less experience. Look at the combos in BASSPRO or Cabelas or other on line stores. look at their package deals and see what works for you

I would go with a 7 1/2′ “Power Plus Trophy Class”(bass pro)Hvy Action rod. Cost on the rod itself should be about $29.95. I will tell you from personal experience they are one of the best all around use rods on the market(strong to boot as well). also try a Bass Pro shops brand catmaxx3 baitcasting reel. they normally run around $54.99, but make for good casting, power reeling and dependability. An Ambassadeur 6000 is also another good type of reel(Highly recommended). If you’re looking for poles in the 9 to 11′ foot range, then i would definitely go with the catmaxx E glass rods(HVY action) $59.99matched up with an ambassadeur 7000(Abu Garcia) $130.00reel. Use between 14-20 lb test line on the first setup and 20 – 25 lb test on the 2nd setup. You will not be disappointed. Brand of line is totally up to you. However i do use cajun red myself.
