Just picked up this reel for $99 over the Daiwa Tatula, due to it's smaller size and lighter weight. Now I just need to find the perfect rod(for all bass techniques.) My price range is $50-100 but I'd really like to keep it under $75... I know there are a lot of killer rods at the $100 mark(Duckett Ghost, Fenwick HMG, 13 F Black ***, Abu Garcia Veritas(2.0), ect...), but I'm on a tight budget... Everyone suggests the Berkley Lightning Rod Shock, but so many reviews say they snap on people. So... I guess I'm saying I need a rod in the $50-75 range. Also, I'm looking for a 7'0" MH/F action that's braid compatible. Thanks!
