according to your description, you want to buy a fishing rod as a birthday present for your boyfriend, and you don't know what price and brand to choose. In fact, people with different fishing levels and hobbies have different needs for fishing rods. I'll give you some general recommendations.

category I: economical and applicable, with the price range of ~2. This kind of fishing rod is more affordable, suitable for friends who don't have high requirements for equipment, don't have thick wallets, and are beginners in fishing. Its advantages are cheap, durable, and it doesn't hurt when it is broken. Its disadvantages are poor painting and workmanship, and it feels bad (either soft or heavy). In the first category, dozens of pieces are mostly inferior brands and high imitation, and Guangwei (Zhushan, unable to read a second-generation catalogue, Tianhe Xiang) is famous for more than 1 yuan.

the second category: mid-range fishing rod with high cost performance, with the price range of 3~8. This kind of fishing rod is cost-effective, and the price is moderate, but it has a good feel, is durable, and has a large choice. It is suitable for wild fishing and can also play with black pits. Better models: Dijia (black-striped carp, water-striped essence, great master), wading Seiko (nine-segment flying stream, black belt), Guangwei (unable to copy three-generation and four-generation orders), Jin Quan (fighting carp), fishing king (Kuiba series), Tianyuan (wave series), Huashi (blind series) and Baofeilong (Bao Feilong).

the third category: high-end fishing rods with good performance in all aspects except high price, with the price range of 1~2. If he has a high demand for fishing, a thick wallet and certain operating skills, he can buy this kind of high-carbon fishing rod, which is already very high in the vibrating rod. The price of the third kind of fishing rod is higher, but we should pay attention to it. The high price can only show that the workmanship and coating are good and the carbon content is high, but it does not mean that you can definitely catch big fish. On the contrary, it is easier to break due to operational mistakes. The brands are: Baofeilong (Xuanyuan carp, Shengboji, Competitive Dragon, Millennium Dragon series), Huashi (Dragon-patterned carp, Fangtian painted halberd, Qinglong crescent moon), Goujian Jianghu (Jianghu carp 25, 2), Kaiwo Seiko (King Sturgeon, Sword Dance Carp, Battle Flag, Hidden).
