ardent apex ranger baitcast reel Magnum Reel-6.5:1 Right Hand and externally adjustable 270° Magnetic Brake System gives you the ability to prevail even in the roughest weather Ardent Apex Elite Baitcasting Reel

Id say thats the last rod Ive tested around the $150 price that I like as much as this one, and the Abu Garcia IKE Power Series 3.0 Casting Rod might still beat it out in time.

I buy a lot of my fishing tackle from Amazon, but plenty of other handy stuff too like batteries, and sunscreenheck, Ive even bought live shiners before

This rod is in Ikes Power Series,so it makes sense that it would be a little stiffer
