My thought, forget the off brand name, and go right for a ugly stick! I am so sold on them! I just got another 7ft 2 piece medium action from Wally world for $30! put a baitrunner 3500 on it, and use that for light action salt water rods! Got two set up for that. The one I had for the last ten year held up great with a 2 1/2 foot sand shark on it!
That is just my opinion.

My bad! Didn't even see that your looking for a med heavy. As far as I know, all the med heavy ugly sticks are in the "big water" line. They are a bit more expensive. I did pick up a ugly stick striper rod at Bass Pro for around $30. It's a 7ft one piece rod, med "I think". They may make a two piece rod, but I'm not sure. Check Bass Pro's wed site. They have a good selection of ugly's.
One is Item 38-162-708-00 on http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Bionic-Blade-XPS-Spinning-Rods/product/10210586/-1749682 that's the 6'6" MH spinning rod.
I use both Bionic blades and Tourney specials but haven't ever seen 2 piece rods above light and ultralight. The one piece rods are very good and last a long time. They will perform as advertised.
