Ok good to know. Im not loaded with cash but fishing is a passion so iv grown to like house brand. Such as BassPro. My baitcaster is all BassPro and I just got Two of their fly rods. The only problem i have is that the drag on my brothers guide series broke but that was in florida on the ocean... so what about a rod?

Thanks a lot! But i do think i said this wrong. 30- 80 dollars for the rod and 30-80 dollars for the reel. so 160 max total. i do like Gandermountain though. And also my mistake for forgeting to put i need it to be a two piece so i can carry it on my back.

Hey guys i could really use some help in narrowing down what to get for my new rod. Already have a 6'6 medium weight spinning rod i use for bass and just about anything. A 7' medium heavy bait caster, same purpose. We have a 25 mile bike trail by me with many streams lakes and a fishing pear on it that span out across the whole length. I am thinking a shorter rod for when fishing with little vertical casting room. So i am thinking 5'6 to 6' medium, maybe medium light. And i would like this as a spinning setup. Looking to spend 30-80 dollars on the rod and reel each. Some brands and models i have considered: Rod: St. Croix Triumph. Ugly Stick. Bass Pro Shops Graphite series. Cabelas tourny trail II. Reels: Shimano Spirex or sedona. Gander mountain Guide series. Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier. I AM OPEN TO ANY BRANDS! Thanks, Christian
