This is just my opinion I have a 7 foot ultra lite extra fast st Croix 125 bucks works great..I also have a cheap 7 foot Walmart ultra lite 16 bucks..Mt little guy uses a 7 foot ultra lite ugly stick the blue series 38 bucks works great.. all on how you fight the fish we both use 4 lb pline we also creek fish for steelies .we both also have 10 foot Johnny Morris series noodle rods for bigger and faster 45 bucks water like salmon river and Oswego river.and as far as reels not one a mine are over 15 bucks I don't think..my Walmart rod I use a lot ..hope that helps you out..my little guy is 9 he lands steelies with 4 lb test ..

How about one of these Berkley Air IM8 Buzz Ramsey-designed salmon/steelhead rods for $53?

I have a 9' version that I've been using as my bottom-bouncing rod for a few years.  IMO, for the money, this rod is very hard to beat.  I picked mine up a few years ago as a Black Friday deal and paid $37.

I found this one  at dicks. I think I'm going to give it a try it's pretty cheap and seems to have pretty good reviews.

It's just the rod I have a good real to put on it. They don't have the med/light just light or medium I think I'm going to get the light one tomorrow

for  a  budget minded  fisherman the  new  riversiders are  hard  to beat I  like  a  10 foot i  got  the  browning  10'6'' from  bass pro it  was  like  90 bucks good  rod for the  money
