The cheapa tica.
This is also my outflow rod, and I've had 20# fish snagged in the side to where I had to put my thumb on the spool to move them against the current (with a drag that was already heavy). What I'm saying here is that these rods have been abused and I've never had any problems.
For plugging comfort (9inch storm shads, huge pikies), I put 4oz worth of egg sinkers in the butt. I can't take credit for the idea, but it balances great.
