I just looked it up, the Denali Jade Wood is about $90. The Ugly Stik is $40. The Lightning Rod is also $40. How about a Berkley Cherrywood at $25?

I use only bait casting gear. There are some pretty good lower end rods out there. Granted the higher end ones do give you more sensitivity and usually more guides on the rod. But work within your budget. Medium/heavy rods are pretty versatile. Can be used for just about every application just fine.
You can always upgrade and get more specialized rods later on down the road. I fished many tournaments with some lower priced rods. And medium priced reels. To me the reel is probably the more important of the two. It can't be said enough about working within your budget.

For the price you stated a Berkeley lightning rod would be a good start. A 6'6 med/hvy is a good all-purpose setup. Plus #1.

The cherry rod is prone to breaking, I used to buy them on sale at academy but after having 2 break unexpectedly I don't buy them any more. I really like the new ugly stick lite. I have caught everything from a 1oz bream to a 10lb striper on it.

Didn't give a well explanation, I have a way to get the Jadewood for the same price it would take to get the lightning rod.

6ft 6in Berkley Lightening rod in medium will suit you better for ponds like Bethany. I throw spinnerbaits, topwaters, and crankbaits as small as 1/8 oz. Soft plastics I will throw baits as small as 1/16 oz on mine. You can't do that with a medium/heavy rod!

Yes. A good friend of mine has one that he didn't use much, and instead of it collecting dust he offered to sell me it for $40.

Well there are many products available online as well as in popular stores. You must find look for your requirement at the shops that are near the area where you go for fishing.
