Berkley Series One. I did rewrap it with SiC's and in spiral configuration. Handle is stock.
I really like it for spinnerbaits.

i have a buddy who LOVES that rod,
not really sure why as I 've never used it but i can imagine how much more he'd like it if the guides were re-wrapped. I will pass that along.

I have a cork crucial 6"8 med/xfast that I really like but I just worm fish with it when i am fishing docks.
Just the right blend of speed power and length.

Re: What is the Least expensive rod that You have
I think a better question for me is what the most expensive rod I have is. My cheapest rod is a 4'8" Ugly Stik that I use for float fishing for panfish.
Re: What is the Least expensive rod that You have
6'2" shimano clarus 4-10 lb with old stradic 2000. I use it for dropshot,neko rig, flyline mackeral for catfish, flyline breadballs for carp, trout etc... Anything that doesnt require heavy line and lures this combo does it.

Original Shimano Compre 6'6" Medium Heavy.
My first baitcast rod. First time I put braid on it I couldn't believe I could feel my T-rigged worm ticking branches in 20 feet of water.
It doesn't impress me so much anymore sensitivity wise, but it's still a great sniper spinnerbait rod for tight spaces.

Honestly...I really really like that rod. I have two as a matter of fact. I've been considering a complete overhaul of them. Possibly extending one to 7'6".
Re: What is the Least expensive rod that You have
A BPS Microlight that's 8'6" I normally use it for panfish/catfish, but sometimes for bass if I can only seem to catch the little guys. I'm hoping to replace it with a true ultralight for panfish and a finesse casting set up for bass though.

Two Shimano Scimitars. Booth spinning, one 6'-6" ML and the other 7' M. I use the ML all the time for smallies, dragging grubs, etc.

The Abu Garcia Vendetta and I really like it. The 6'6" M-F is great for spinnerbaits, buzzbaits,and swim jigs but I've used for big jerkbaits and topwaters and it worked just fine, the rod is an awesome caster, nice distance and accuracy with it.
