Getting ready to buy a new bluegill, crappie, white bass, ect. rod and reel. I've pretty much decided on one of the St. Croix Panfish Series rods. The rod will be 6' - 7' and ultra or light weight action. I'd like to pair that up with a decent reel sized to balance out the rod. Probably gonna keep the cost of the reel around $100 give or take a little. Been awhile since I've bought a spinning reel and there are a bunch on the market. Appreciate any suggestions...

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
