You're right about the old Bass Pro "Extreme" series. They were a good rod for the money. I've got a few I've been using over 20 years with no problems.
You can find St Croix "Triumph" rods for a little under $100 on Amazon. I bought one last year, 6 ft one piece med. and it's been a good rod. A little heavier medium than other brands I've used but it will set a hook. Shimano makes some decent rods for under a hundred, the Shimano Clarus is a good one.
