Whatever kind is on sale at Walmart.
I have an antique square steel rod I'm going to try one of these days.

Boron is the lightest and most sensitive. I love the rods but just don't
use them in cold weather and be careful with them. They will evenually
break with even the best care.

That's why I like spent uranium rods, super dense so you can feel a fish
just swim by the line, they are totally unbreakable, even in the coldest
weather. It is true they are a bit stiff, a a little heaver than the
others, but look at the arm strength you can build while fishing, it
turns fishermen into real athletes Smile

I haven't shopped for a new rod in a while. Are they still making Boron?
The ultra lite Shakespear Boron spinning rod that I have is maybe 25
years old. It cost about a hundred buck way back then. Who makes them
now and how expensive are they now?

You are asking the wrong question(s) imo. What matters is the action of the
rod and it's fitness for the job you are asking of it. On Sunday I went to
sea with three rods, one was some sort of carbon fibre, the one I used most
was glassfibre and I don't know what the other is made from.

For eg it is hard to find a slow actioned carbon or boron rod that is not
also soft (You cannot cast freelined breadcrust with a centrepin using a
fast actioned rod.) If you want a good backbone with a soft action then
glass and even built cane are excellent. If otoh you are using a stretchy
line at range then you probably want a heavy, stiff matrix to set the hook.
If a very light line at short range then softness is a virtue.
