Default Inexpensive frog combo?

I just need an inexpensive frog rod that won't burn a hole in my pocket! Preferably spinning and under $50! Anyone have any suggestions?

Bass Pro Shop has a Graphite series rod, one piece. I like the MH (medium heavy) rods...Last I knew they were under 40 dollars.

For under or around 50 dollars you will most likely be looking at house rods, from Gander, Cabelas, or BP. I think DSG has the Tec Spec rods for right around that price.

Check Cabelas. They have a $79 reel on sale for $49 right now. I think it's a Shimano.

Spinning med heavy you are set for about up to 3 lb bass in say milfoil or coontail,pads you need a heavy and most likly a baitcaster.Spinning will spool up 20 lb fire line and work quite well.
Ive got a shorter 5 ft rod that works fine as a frogger it was vintage off ebay,about 40 bucks two years ago.Think its a Berkley.My opinion a spinning putfit wont be as stout as a baitcaster or have quite as fast a tip when enough ummph to getem up and out,longer than 5 ft a heavy action fast tip in a spinning for anything large,even in just grass.
Edited as watched your video your using ribbets,any rod you can use to toss buzzbaits with.
If your interested ill cut you a deal on that short 5 ft rod its got more backbone than the one in your video,suitable for say tournament pro etc ,floaters.Also has a quantam snapcast cheapie with braid on it.
