I am going to fish soon with some friends and need to get a good pole to go freshwater fishing with. There are alot of types apparently I didn't know about. Basically my question is what is a good and decently cheap fishing rod for freshwater fishing?
Just get a rod with a reel and not a button.
You hold the reel bar back, and then throw. It'll cast out the lure.
Trust me, mate, fishing is 40% waiting, 50% drinking, and only 10% dealing with the actual fishing part.
It's great.
You get drunk as hell with buds while something may happen.

Probably won't be able to get drunk we are going at 8am and I unfortunately have to drive

It's fishing.
You will get drunk.
That's how it works.
If you're driving, then you're the loser bitch they've designated to not enjoy the experience.
Fishing is essentially waiting.
If you're not drinking, what's the point?
Ugly Stik and a reel with a bail you flip open and closed.

Oh for christ sakes, go into a sporting goods store and tell them you want a 6'6'' to 8'6'' medium, fast action spinning set with an open-faced reel, and they'll throw you some options. Quantum, Okuma, and Shakespeare will be your best bargains.

Bingo.
Go to Walmart, get an ugly stick, line, hooks, worms/bobbers or lures. Ask, walmart trash loves that shit.

Unless you plan on going into the great lakes for salmon and trout fishing, then just get something on the smaller side. Light action, 6 ft or so, no reason to get anything bigger. You can really catch anything on any kind of rod, you just don't want to be trolling on downriggers 300 feet away with an ultra-light, but I've caught salmon on short ultra light rods before and northern pike on tiny little ice fishing rods meant for perch and pan fish. If it's one of your first times fishing, then just get one of the cheap rod kits from walmart or wherever is close to you. Just make sure to get something without a button, get a proper spincasting reel
