For 130.00 or so, you can get a VERY nice one from Real Time, get a hold of Ron, he makes a very fine rod.

I like a Dobyns 735c for jigs and worms. It's also a good rod for pitching.

depends on how much you want to spent. I would say if you want to stay in the 150 range then a 734 Dobyns Savvy series in the 240 range the 734 Dobyns Champion series in the 320 range the 734 Dobyns Extreme series

100 dollar rod? That's a lot of money! Fish the heck out of them!

Rouge 705, I promise you will thank me later
A TFF member screen named Toadrustler can get you in the right direction to buy one.

I have several different rods from Allstar to Falcon to Dobyns. For under $150 my favorite worm rod has become a Falcon Lowrider Lizzard Dragger I. Love it.

Probably not what you want because its cheap and I havent used it yet but I bought an H2O worm rod at academy today for $9.88. Original price was $39.99. Figured for that price might as well give it a shot as a back up in case I break one of my better rods. Will leave on the boat for an emergency! I agree with the Dobyn's recommendations though!

The 734 is not only a fine rod for jigs and worms but is good for many other applications as well, spinnerbaits ,spooks and carolina rigs no one rod does it all but this one does alot, very versatile. Powell @ $169 is my choice.
When in doubt set the hook..Retie often
