If you want actually budget but not utter trash it's going to be hit or miss. But you're generally going to have decent luck with brands like Shakespeare, Daiwa, or Berkeley vs a lot of the neon junk you tend to see at Walmart.
If you are wondering about a specific rod you see in the store, a good initial test is to try to bend it and see if the curve is smooth. If there are flat spots anywhere as you bend it, put it back. That should be a minimum in quality. Another thing you want to try to get is a rod blank that goes all the way through the handle (think like a full tang knife). Really cheap rods will have the blank only into the handle a couple inches, and that's a sign of poor quality and performance.
Good luck!
