[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 368443, member: 13702"] Where in all the singular references to "a more 'serious' rod and reel" in various forms throughout his post do you see anything mentioning multiple rods? While I don't agree with this in the slightest, if it is in fact his point to get multiple rods for $100-$125 I would forego my previous advice on the reel as you're not getting anything for your money in that price point and focus on whatever Ugly Stick rod/reel combos you can find at the local Walmart as you will at least get a clutch of good rods for your money and when the reels fall apart you can upgrade to something lasting at that point. Any reel under $50 is likely to be using a graphite or plastic frame - which won't hold its tolerances over time and will wear with regular use. Any reels on the ugly stick combos likely use graphite and/or plastic bearing too - which are the fishing equivalent of sawdust in an old transmission - smooth enough to sound good at the store but once you get them out and use them they're rough and noisy if they don't break down right away.
