Which one would you choose? I saw that Cabela's has a swim bait/A Rig rod for that price. Any other manufacturers have a decent rod in that price point? Not trying to break the bank on a bait I don't throw all the time.

Skeet Reese worm/jig rod or swim bait rod will work just fine and can be purchased at the price you are looking for.

Denali jadewood 7'11 rig rod will run about $130 but handles the rig amazingly and doubles as a swimbait/flippin stick and has a lifetime warranty

I fished with a guy in the Ray Scott Championship on Wheeler Lake that throws his A-rigs on an Academy H20 Ethos 7'3 or 7'6" Heavy action. He had several highend rods on the deck but used that for the A-rig. I asked him about it and he handed it to me and insisted I cast it some. Rod was really light and he paired it with a revo winch. I've thrown 3/4oz spinnerbaits that were more of a workout to fish than his A-rig setup. I liked it so much, I went to academy and looked around. Found a 7'3" on sale for $49 so I picked it up. I haven't had a chance to fish it since buying it but I will be putting it to use over the next few weeks. Coach

They were selling them for $49.99 but the website says sold out. FYI - I've got one and it works great with A-rigs.

Tacklewarehouse had their Powell Endurance umbrella rig rod (model #795, I think) 7'9" on sale for 118.99 but sold out. Too bad. That's a bad [censored] rod for 10xd, umbrella rigs, big spinner baits, and other heavy lures. I have two of them.

The Duckett Ghost is one of the best $100 rods there is and it looks amazing, the veritas is a really good rod but they run higher in their ratings, like a medium action is closer to a medium-heavy, medium-heavy is more like a heavy and so on,the same goes for their tapers, I also really like the 13 Fishing Omen and the TFO Signature series also $100 is actually made by Loomis and has an incredible lifetime warranty. I don't think you could go wrong with any of those.

I just ordered a diawa big swimbait rod. Its the 8' xh model. It had lots of good reviews and I didn't want to be under powered. I will be throwing the a-rig along with hudds and other big swimbaits with it. We'll see how it performs but its $109 so its in your range and is actually rated for 3-10oz baits. They have other actions too which are rated for lighter or larger baits.
