I am currently looking for a new bass fishing spinning rod and reel (NOT COMBO). I am thinking of the 6'6" medium action St. Croix Triumph and an abu garcia orra for the reel. The total cost of rod and reel must be $175 and under. Any suggestions? I fish from shore (limited back cast) so it shouldn't be longer than 7', but it needs to handle six pound bass.
