Hey guys. Just celebrated my 20th birthday today and received quite a few Academy gift cards! (sweet) So I want to invest in a new spinning rod for bank fishing. I would totally just use the search tool if it was up, but it's not so I wanted to know if any of y'all had any advice on what to look at. Thanks a ton!

Bank fishing for LMB mostly. Would like to stay under $50 but could go to $75 if really necessary.

Wait for it..... wait for it.....

The Academy Rod Riot, that is. Then buy two rods to fit different situations. Falcon, All Star and Castaway are all good brands. I suspect the new Academy H2O rod is also a good value. Bass Pro had their $50 IM7 rod on sale for $29 last week so I picked on up - not sure if it's still on sale.

+1. But if you are going spinning I would recommend a medium instead of a medium heavy.

You have to decide which is more important.
