Heavy Setup

Anybody have any input on a inexpensive rod/reel combo for catfish or musky? Under $100

Wrong section. But the Ugly Stik Catfish rod has served me well.

I prefer a round baitcaster for both applications and you can't go wrong with either a Shimano Corvalus or a Abu 5500C. Your rod choice should be determined by what you'll be fishing with (lure/live bait) in conjunction with the size fish you anticipate catching.  I prefer longer rods for casting/trolling lures and shorter rods for live bait presentation.

For catfish, it's nice to have a reel with a clicker also.
