Though it's not typically designed as a casting rod, I think a Shimano Trevalla makes a great all around rod. I use them for jigging offshore for various large species of fish, and I also found it useful inshore casting plugs and such. I've never broken one, not even on very large fish with locked down drags. They run about 120 bucks, and have a lifetime warranty.
