I was thinking maybe the Abu Garcia Vengeance. But I wanted to know what other rods in this price range you guys think might be a good choice.

Thanks

You can still get the Abu Vendetta at some Walmarts for $30. The Berkley Lightning Shock are pretty good rods also.

The Shimano Sellus is a decent rod at that price

Sellus, Lightning Rod, Vengeance. Sellus my #1 pick.

A used one in the market place

I used to fish with a couple of 50ish $ quantum combos from dicks

Lightining Rod.

For 50 bucks a Calico Jack.

The new white BPS bionic blade is a pretty nice rod. I used a buddy's a couple times this fall and liked it well enough. I wasn't a fan of the way the reel seat felt in my hand so I didn't buy one myself, but for an economy rod it would be a good option.

I have a couple Abu Vengeance's and a couple Lightning Rod Shocks........Flip a coin, they are both good rods for the $$. The Shimano Sellus's don't impress me at all, and I like Shimano stuff just fine, but I have seen a high % of them new on racks in the stores with QC issues....like crooked guides and reel seats, blobs of epoxy in the blank, etc...

Lightning rod or BPS graphite series.

Thanks guys!

I really like the BPS Graphite Series.

Calico Jack as said, tec spec, lightning rod shock or something lightly used. 

BPS Tourney Special.  Its an IM-7 rod that $10 off right now which makes it $39.97

Over the next few months tackleshops everywhere will be clearancing older product to accomodate the new stuff. Shop around and be patient, you may get a much nicer rod for your money.

I'd sooner get rid of my more expensive rods than my Calico Jack, I may buy another one (MH)just for snakeheads.

The powell diesel is on sale right now for $54.88 at tackle warehouse. I ordered one from a local tackle shop and the guy is matching the TW price. Heard a lot of good things about the rods.
