Need advice on a spinning rod

[B.D. jR]

I have a great bait casting rod and reel that I use 100 percent of the time only because I do not have a spinning rod. The bait casting set up is great for heavier BASS lures such as spinners, buzz, and crank baits. However it is a medium/heavy setup and I would like a softer tip medium action 6'6" spinning rod for soft plastics and slightly lighter crank baits that will offer a little more feel and casting distance. The bait cast is fine for puttin it to the fish, but when it comes to feel...it lacks. I fish for the BIG bass and will occasionally miss a few on topwater buzz baits and need a good spinner to give em the follow up with the soft plastic. Any suggestions on a -best for the money- rod that will fit my description?? Budget $75 to $100.

I would rather catch one 8lb bass than fifteen 2lb bass!!!
