Hey-you can't beat some shakespear ugly sticks-totally unbreakable and with great actions, match with most any reasonable reel-I like cabelas salt strikers-work good and smooth, and they stand up well.I have 2 set ups just for my out of town friends and my wife's 1st time fishing friends-unbeatable.

Last time I went to the SGO sale we got the cheap spinning combos for guest kids to use.

Good for cork slinging.

A simple rule of physics is this "a $50 set up sinks at the same rate of speed as a $100 set up"
