I've been running Shimano TDR's for many years. They are cheap, they stand up to most normal wear and tear.
Lately, I've been looking for something better. I want something that is light and will absorb lots of shock when the fish wants to run and the fisherman wants to hold him tight. Give me that extra second to rip his fingers off the reel. [}

I like a 9' or even a 9-1/2' rod.
I picked up a couple of 9' Berkley Lightning rods at a boxing day sale. I have not had a chance to use them yet, but I'll let you all know what I think once I do get them wet.
Has anyone here used the Shakespear UglyStik? What do you think of them? I have heard that the one model I was looking at has problems with breaking - anyone experience that?
Thanks...
