Go for the best rod you can aford in your price range.All the rods mentioned above and a whole host of others priced between 50-70 squids will do the job well enough.Fishing with an xflite or any other "top flight" (proper)rod will not catch you any more fish .However some of the really low priced rods although up to a few trips probably won,t make it to the next season.Stick to anything in the above price range that you have read about on here and you won,t go far wrong.
