If your sold out on an inexpensive bait caster..Walmart no longer carries the MG 1310 Quantum but you can get a new one off of ebay for 40.00 I have 2 and they are great.I fish alot and both have lasted over 7 years..with no problems.
Here's the reel...I would only buy a new one...NEVER a used one ..
I'd put it on a 7 foot Lightning Rod..36.00 medium heavy..Walmart has them..
Ebay has 2 pages of these reels..DO NOT BUY A USED ONE.
only new in package..
Here's a new one..

and the best low price baitcasting rod IMHO is Lightening Rod..Walmart has them in the 30 dollar range..Mine are over 20 years old..If your bass fishing with a rubber worm..get a 7 foot rod ...
