Don't know which model is on sale.

Looks like they had the 20 for $38 online but shows out of stock now.

There will be lots of days when you will need a screwdriver but just have a hammer. Other days you will need to drive nails but you'll have a screwdriver. Try to get a 35 dollar 10 footer for jigging. Pick up a cheap shimano spinning reel for about 20 bucks. Then get a 6 foot spinning rod and pair it with another shimano spinning reel. When you wear the casting reel out in a couple of years swap to the jigging pole. They mainly just store line any way
