Any recommendations of a rod under $100 to pair it with?

Thanks!
I have the 7ft 15-40 rated Penn Power stick

http://www.tackledirect.com/pennpowerstick.html

I have caught #120 T, #30 YFT, #52 WSB, up to #30 yellows, etc. all on this rod, #65 spectra too.

Big 5 sells Sabre rods on sale for cheap, ~$40, but be wary of the cheap guides they use, they will rust out eventually, unless you are really diligent.

I prefer the one with the 4.9:1 gear ratio.

For me, its fast enough for jigs and has better torque on the bigger fish.

Squidco had them for $100 last time I checked. For yoyo-ing, pick up a cheap ($20-40), short, stiff rod while you're at Squidco. You'll want a better rod if you plan to use surface iron.

Cool! I have an old, short stiff rod that I will use for yoyoing...

but I want to get something longer and lighter for throwing irons...I think I want something more versatile than a jig stick for now.
