I am looking to get another rod. I am new to kayaking and dont want to spend too much cash some guy is selling this rod for $35.00. Is it worth it?

Not sure but I think that's a decent Sabre made before all the cheap ones they sell in stores now. http://berinsontackle.com/products-page/2-rods/penn-sabre-stroker-7-foot-12-to-30-pound-class-rod/

Probably worth $35 if it's in real good shape.

CONVENTIONAL-E GLASS RODS
Designed primarily for casting small live baits such as anchovies, these one piece stroker style fast taper models feature cusion foam grips with graphite reel seats.

Not an original Sabre. This a Sabre from after the name was bought by Penn. Not sure of the value, personally I wouldn't spend 35 but that is mostly cause I like to wrap my own. I wold look around for an Original Sabre and re-wrap it.

Thanks for the advice! The gear I have not "should" be alright for now. I am still new to the whole kayaking thing. I have way too many hobbies right now ... wife would freak out if I purchased anything expensive. Thanks again!!!
