Yeah can't beat Powell! Diesel or inferno rods are right at $100 and worth every penny in quality for the price!

St Croix, Halo, or TFO are all good rod choices. Light and well built with good guides.

Falcon BuCoo
Used low rider in the classifieds for that price too.
Dobyns fury
Powel inferno
Omen black "I've owned 6 with no issues,others have had issues" o got rid of mine due to the short handle length.
Stay away from the ghost,any Abu Rod that price or below,any quantum that price or below, and I hate to say it but the lews line of rods that price or below are terrible too. This is funny to me. I've caught 6 DDs since last August and they have all come on Ghost rods. As long as you're careful with the guides (just like any other rod) and don't step on them or beat them around, they are fine. I've tried rods up to the $500 dollar range and I still go back to the Ghosts and Micro Magic Pros. Maybe some things just don't work for some people. I have about a dozen of them and no complaints here.

Broke a guide off on Monday while setting the hook on a fish, and wasn't slamming it. And I'm very gentle with my equipment. I actually wouldn't have a problem with this, except that I emailed their customer service Monday, and still have not heard back. Just my experience, and I like the rod other than that.

I have about a dozen of them and no complaints here. Okay,I still think they're the hands down worst Rod out of all the $100 rods right next to veritas. I've owned every Rod I've mentioned plus a few. I shouldn't have to "watch my guides". I've also worked at a tackle shop selling all sorts of differnt rods. I'm giving input based on personal use and what I saw returned the most. Also side note here I caught over 40 fish ledge fishing with a crankbait Rod that's 6 years old, and was $49 when it was new just last Sunday. Does that make it the best? Absolutely not. the Rod got the job done and that's it.That's what the OP asked.
