The wife has cabelas points burning a hole in her pocket. She decided she wants a new rod/reel combo. She wants a spinning reel. She will use it mostly for slip bobbers, a little bit of jigging and casting in the spring to catch whatever bites.
anyways, want to spend about 50 bucks on a combo. If anyone has any recommendations I would like to hear them. Will be ordering online so that is kind of the issue.

I think she has $120 in points. So anything under that price will be considered.

Oh, thank you for the second post.  $50 for a combo makes me cringe very badly.  In your price range I would go for a Shimano Sedona with a Cabela's tourney trail rod.  Good combo for about your price.  She will out fish you with that.

She don't have to worry about that. I could buy her a snoopy rod and she would outfish me!


She was showing me how to catch these all night last night

That is very impressive.  I am actually jealous of that pose.

BTW, I had that exact combo until I broke the rod.  Nice, fast tip with good back bone.

 Get a St. Croix Eyecon and slap a President or Sedona on it.
