I have 100$ to spend on a new light or ultra light 5-6' rod and reel combo. I was just curious on everyone's opinions. It will mainly be a jigging pole. If I were to go to bass pro then my limit jumps up to about 150. I do have rogers sporting goods not to far off either also. I just dont know which way to go. I have always fished with 20$ combos and I want something nicer this time. Any suggestions?
I use a phleuger president reel with a BPS crappiemax pro rod and love it.

A good graphite 7.5 foot rod is a good choice for casting light jigs, but enough backbone to handle the occasional striper, LM, or Cat that crashes the party.
Bass Pro micro-light in a 6' 6" - 7', 59.99 and a Shimano Sienna either a 500 or 1000 model, 30.00 and a spool of crappie max high viz line, 8.00. Not a thing wrong with a Pflueger President combo, I have 4 setups like this and they work flawlessly, even if you hook the occasional small mouth, large mouth, striper or cat. Light power fast action gives more than enough backbone.
3 pflugers, 1 diwa all good
i got
2 6 ft outlaw
1 7 ft outlaw
2 8 ft outlaw
shimino reels like them all
Even a Pfleuger Trion reel is great and a Shakeshere Micro grafite 7 foot rod 17 dollars at Wall Mart is really good. Put 6 lb crystial fireline on it cast a mile no tangles has 2 lb diameter strong enough to pull jigs loose.
Thanks all for the response. I think I am leaning toward the pflueger president. And I'll pick out a rod while I am there. Now to just get the lake to thaw out so I can fish while I'm off.
I also have the pflueger president combo in the lighter duty and it is great for dock shooting also. Can't beat the price on the combo.
I'm also a fan of the Pflueger President reels, very nice and smooth for the money spent for one. You might want to check around and see if there is a sale going on
Everyone has a President as I have several and for good reason....if you can get them on sale or want to spend a little extra the BPS Carbon Lite is the best rod I've used other wise the BPS Micro Lite is good. That Shakespeare at Wally Word is a great budget rod but they don't make the 6 1/2 foot anymore
great thread guys, I was just wondering what to get for my next rod. buddy was selling out, after his 5th ticket for too many crappie and losing his license, so I bought one of his st croix's and shimano reel with braided line on it. Not my usual play but for $80 bucks AND 5 pounds of gulf shrimp just couldn't pass it up.
Looks like I will be looking for a sale on Pflueger presidents now with BPS micro lite rod
I have always been a what's on sale kinda dude.
if anyone sees good sale for the president's combo please let us all know! much appreciated!
Pflueger President 6925 for reel
For rods, I have a couple BPS Microlite graphites. One is a 7' light action and the other is a 6' medium light. I prefer the medium light for shoot docks and the 7 footer for casting multiple jigs.
President's hardly ever go on sale they run a rebate rarelyQuote:

Can't go wrong with the Pflueger President. On the bass pro side I think their rods, after the initial larger guide, taper down in my opinion much too quickly. Just my 2 cents.
You left out ONE........... 4 ft SNOOPY Rod & Reel :santaQuote:
