Bionic Plus Lightning Rod Combo

[E-Rawk]

The wife is letting me have a budget of 150$ for Basspro tomorrow. Trying to get the best bang for my buck. I've been told to Avoid the Tourney series and the Graphite Series rods. So I came across this:

https://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/...1_94774_100003001_100000000_100003000_100-3-1

Really tempted to get this, but I really would like to get the best bang for my buck.

Not a fan of basspro reels.

I would get this combo:

Or this combo:

This one might be even cheaper (local sale not advertised online)

And this one comes with a rebate.

Thanks for the suggestion Jim, I'll check those out tomorrow.

I have two tourney specials, and while they are def. not as good as some higher priced rods it hasnt stoped me from catchin a lot of fish on them. One I got about 3 years ago and one is even older only problem Ive had is an eye incert on the oldest one popped out. As for bps reels I have only used one, it was a cheapo as well, and I really dislike it. The two links jim suggested are also the two I would have picked out from the combos and for your price range. Out of the two I think I would go with the shimano, however theres a lot of guys on here with revos and they seem to love them.

I would do the shimano deal.

Friend and I bought two each of the Citica/Extreme deals in two different sizes. After we figured out how the centrifical break adustments work, we both love them. Can't beat the price after discount and Shimano rebate.......
