If you want to stay around $100, it is hard to beat an Okuma rod paired with a Pflueger President spinning reel. Rod length is up to your choice, and reel size is based on the line capacity you desire. I will have to get you the model # of the 2pc rod I have, though. Shimano and Daiwa also make excellent reels, but it all depends on your budget. St Croix makes great rods, but can push the budget up another $50-100. Good luck!
