Getting this reel for a good deal from someone on here, Just wondering what I should pair with it? Only really want to spend 80 or less on a rod but I don't know what length and action yet. I was thinking getting a 6'10 MH for spinnerbaits and using my 7' MH carbonlite for jigs and texas rig but not sure yet.

Simmons sporting goods on e-bay has Kistler Mag TS rods on sale for $68, get the 6'9" MH "all purpose special". I have a citica mounted on one, great set up. It will fish spinnerbaits, topwaters, shallow and lipless cranks, buzzbaits, and jig/t-rigs in moderate cover great.

I have the same combo and it's really versatile and comfy. 

If they sell out of that rod b4 you can get one look at a Lamiglas Excel at TW (705 model) or another Carbonlite from BPS during the February "Classic" Sales.

Yea I should probably wait since I live 15 minutes from BPS. I am just getting ready for lake Fork

If you're unsure of action and power and don't have a specific application, I suggest a 7' MH/F as the most versatile for bass fishing.

One of my Citicas is mounted on a MOJO Topwater rod. This combo seems to do alot of things well.

I would say the best rod for under $80 is the Abu Garcia Vendetta.

I have a couple and I use one for spinnerbaits. It works great.

I use mine on a SR senko/toad rod and is my main worm rod.
