[QUOTE="ccm, post: 368357, member: 13447"] You should be able to find some good combos in that price range. I suggest either Phluger or Abu Garcia brands because of their quality. Something with at least 3ball bearings & a smooth drag is what I recommend. For small cranks, light jigs, & spinners medium to medium light should do good for what your throwing. Just get a good feel for the action of the rod; these types of actions/strength ratings tend to vary a little from brand to brand. For spinning reels braid works really well ( no line twist :D ); if the water is really clear you can always add a fluorocarbon leader. + another advantage of braid is its strength to line diameter generally 30lb braid has an 8lb mono diameter so you get extra strength & abrasion resistance for when the big one hits. :mrgreen: Good luck & good fishing to you.
