I'm looking for a new baitcast rod/reel combo for under $100, any one have any suggestions? thanks

Look at Bass Pro Shops on line or Cabelas.  BPS has a Pflueger baitcaster (Supreme I think) that's a solid reel paired with one of their BPS Extreme rods (6' - 7'6") for right around a hundred bucks.  It's in their master fishing catalog and on line.

I use those rods for cranking and spinner bait rigs exclusively, they have awesome rod handles and a really nice flex pattern to them.  They are about as good as it gets for the money.  Can't say I've tried the Pflueger bait cast reels but I use only thier spinning reels and love them.
