Abu Garcia Pro Max 3 combo. 7ft mh rod, 8 bearing 7.1:1 reel, just under 100 bucks.
Sorry I wasn't aware of one reel with that ratio. My question is why? I can run buzz baits with a 5:8 ratio. I guess if they build it, someone will buy it.

He!!, Abu makes the Revo Rocket which is 10.1:1 and all the other big brands have at least 1 in the 8-9:1 range. I don't know, maybe less tiring if you're throwing for 8hrs a day.

Hmm, just ordered a new one yesterday, didn't see any of those, not that I would have bought one, but why? I have a 5:8 coming in, and they gave me a choice of that or 5:2. All my others are 5:8 so I kept the same.

After breaking some rods that are twice the price, I bought a MY Ugly Stik and didn't like it. Next I bought an Ugly Stik Elite Medium and really like it. Later I bought another one and will again on the next break. They are around $50 with a 7 year warranty. Now you have a $100 left for a reel.

Looking for my first baitcast combo. I've used my friend's baitcaster before so I know I want one. Budget isn't very flexible. Any help is appreciated
EDIT: Looking for a good all-around rod. Probably 7 ft MH fast tip and preferably a 7:1 gear ratio but gear ratio is flexible. I mostly fish swim jigs, texas rigs, and chatterbaits (among other things of course) but that's what I'd throw on this combo
