I currently own,

• 6'6 MF Spinning Rod(Shimano Sojourn)
• 6'6 MH Spinning Rod(Abu Garcia Vengeance)
• 6'9 ML Spinning Rod(Abu Garcia Vendetta)

Based on what I own currently, what do you recommend I purchase next? 

 

I've been trying to use top waters and light wenko's with my MF, heavier jigs and bigger crankbaits on the MH and ned rigs and light texas rigs on the ML. 

 

I don't want to spend a lot of money so any suggestions would be great. I'm looking to spend between 80-100 with the 20% off. Also, I'll need to pick up a reel as well. These are the ones I currently have. 

 

• Quantum Optix-40 || 5:3:1 
• Quantum Optix-30 || 5:2:1
• Cardinal353i || 5:1:1

Any help would be absolutely amazing. Thanks everybody. 

Me, I would probably get another MH for spinnerbaits (if you throw them) and heavier T-rigs. MH rods are usually pretty versatile.

Any suggestion on a type of rod for this within the 100.00(with or without discount)

How about the Daiwa Procyon Spinning 7' Med Hvy for $70 and then pair it with a Daiwa REVROS 2500 for $50? After discount it will be under $100.

What would you recommend for the ratio?

The reel only comes in 5.6:1 ratio.

Sounds like you already have the spinning rigs you need, why not live a little and learn casting? There are plenty of $80-100 quality rods available.

I'd rather not start with $80 for my first casting rod haha. I'm a little nervous, to be honest.

 I much prefer my Shimano Crucial or my St. Croix Rage, but those exceed the target price point.

 

 

A heads-up then: On the St Croix site, in the Bargain Room, the Rage line are marked down to $89 now, and there are a number of models in casting and spinning available.

Another place you might check out for getting a better quality rod at a discount that falls to your price range is Fisherman's Factory Outlet, which has some rods by Pure Fishing brands (Abu, Berkley, Fenwick) at 40-50% off or more; I got a Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth casting rod earlier this month marked down to $75; the original retail on those was $130. They still have a few of the 6'9" MH-F and and 6'10" MH-MF left, along with some HMGs and a bunch of Abu rods too.

The Tatula Rods are on sale on Bass Pro's site for around $100. I would recommend those for sure. Another one I would recommend is the Duckett Ghost. It's a good rod for $100
