Can anyone recommend a combo around $150? Something for 2-4lb line, around 6ft long, with a nice smooth reel. I was set on a Fenwick HMX/Pflueger President combo for around $130 but negative reviews on rod durability scared me off. Thanks!

I’ve got several HMG’s and an HMX that I purchased for a dedicated panfish rod that is paired with a President. Have used it pretty heavily for two years and have no complaints. Also have a 7 foot six Bass Pro Microlite that’s even less expensive that has served me well.

St Croix makes some great panfish rods in the $90-100 range.
Lew’s Speed Sticks are nice, too for about $70
I love my Pflueger Presidents, too.

My favorite is a St croix legend UL with a Shimano Sedona 1000
Great combo
