I am on a budget but wanted a nice fishing rod. I purchased a Diawa SA-GC701MLXS.
I show some of the information I found on this rod below.

Daiwa Saltiga Inshore Gulf Coast Saltwater rod

Daiwa uses the finest materials available and has produced the most lightweight and strongest graphite for their well known “bias wrap construction” method in order to produce the most heavy duty and thinnest blanks available. Daiwa uses a ‘hot press manufacturing’ process wherein the eight different layers of carbon are welded together with heat rather than the common resin bonding technique. This creates a lighter and thinner and highly responsive blank while maintaining superb strength.

• Bias Construction High Modulus IM7 Graphite blank
• Fuji Alconite Guides….. starts with a size 30
• Genuine Fuji reel seat
• High quality cork grip
• Hook keeper
• Protective rubber butt cap
• Lifetime Warranty
Bias construction refers to the cris-crossing of the material used to manufacture the Diawa Saltiga series spinning rods.
Bias constructed blanks are strong and durable.

This rod is extremely light and is well built and was $115.00.
It is a very nice rod.
