Lookin' for a new combo

[crankybait]

Ok, well it was just my birthday, and I want a new combo. I would like to be spending about 80 bucks on this. I have a 25 dollar BPS giftcard (Thank you Kevin ), which will help pay for shipping. I only got about 200 bucks this year, since I didn't throw a party. After this combo, I am looking to get a job and buy some quality stuff. But I doubt I can have a job till summer, because My parents work And I couldn't get to anyplace I'd be working at. I'd like to be ordering something from BPS. a MH Spinning combo, since I have 2 Mediums. The St.croix Avid, anoter is an Ugly stik. Got the stradic 5000, A shimano slade 2000FB, and an Abu Garcia Cardinal 103t. ITs getting old thoguh, and frezes up a bit. I will need to replace it later. Also have a medium action mitchell avocate rod, but the bottom ferrule busted. And I have the random rod that I got at a flea market, but has nothing written on it. Seems alright though. Any ideas on what to get??
I was thinking bionic blade/ shimano symetry combo, or
the BPS graphite/ Cardinal combo, and start saving up for a really nice combo. I plan to be buying 2 combos this year, one really good one, and another decent. Looking for the decent here.
Thanks

better get a reel that is a 6.3 or faster...

you should buy a 7 foot MH so you can get better hookups with spinnerbaits and jigs. you could even flip and pitch worms into thick weeds and heavy cover...

Hi Cranky,
Check out sports authority.
They are having a 30% off sale on some of their fishing stock
I picked up a stradic 4000 for 43.00 dollars list was about 150.00
different stores have different items

Zook- any particular reason for that speed? Because the cardinal is 5.1, but sahara is 6.2 So I'm debating over getting the cheaper combo, and saving more, or the better combo, since it was reccomended twice... But then I wont have as much for a really nice combo, I was going to buy a CrazyFish rod and another Stradic later.
Mack- I thought you were supposed to fish spinnerbaits on a medium... Spinnerbaits and cranks on medium, I think. I was going to get like 6'6 MH so I could do better with worms.
Huck- Thanks or the tip, I will drop by SA sometime and see what they still have. Hope I'm not too late.

its all up to the person fishing...if you are fishing a bigger sized spinnerbait with a thick hook, you might have trouble with with hooksets with a medium. cranks are usually fish on a medium like you said. what sized spinnerbaits are you fishing most of the time? worms can be good with M or MH. i tend to fish worms on MH if im using 1/4 oz weights or bigger. i use M with weightless worms or 1/8 oz weights or less.

I fish pretty small spinnerbaits... Actually, on second thought, I don't really fish spinnerbaits. I have to fish em more this year... I hear they are quite versatile, altough I've never caught a fish on one. This was the year of the senko, so I have been trying to start texas rigging plastics. My Medium is a little hardd for the hooksets on T-rigs.
