Inexpensive lightweight, parabolic rods?
Can any of y'all recommend a lightweight, parabolic casting rod? Thinking to spend no more than $150 but can go a little over. After jigging for 6 hours straight on a inshore bass stick, your arm can get pretty sore and joints achy. Thanks!

I have bought a couple of Graftec rods over the years.
Have not had very good luck. Broke rod, crappy guides that inserts break, etc.... Go with quality and it will serve you for years. |

Not sure what you mean by parabolic, but you might want to try an Ugly Stick. The latest model, the GX2 is very light and very strong and run about $40 at Walmart. I have three of these in various sizes and they are pretty good, two of the rods are strictly for bass and are my favorites. They also added a Big Water series, but I haven't tried those.

Keep an eye out for a Big 5 sale too, they knock the price down to about $50.
