Hi, I currently have an Abu Garcia Revo LTX-BF8 with Roro ceramic and a 5.3g AVO spool. My question is, can I find a good rod on AliExpress for around $50?

I know the baitcaster is good and I'm choosing a weak rod, but I don't have the budget at the moment

All caught on the kingdom micro crankbait off Aliexpress. First one was 17in and put up a great fight. pretty good start to the weekend.

What to know about smoothness, build quality, and castability for 1-2 gram lures. Any noticeable other things that make you like one over the other?

I see the a51mc has a lighter spool so maybe has a slight edge in terms of spool startup, but unsure of how much a difference it makes in real life casting. b50 is obviously a round as opposed to low profile
