Default new baitcast combo recommendations

i've decided that i'll purchase a new baitcast combo this season, and i was wondering what you guys think i should get? i only have a budget of around 80 bucks, (wife would get peeved if i spent much more ) and bare in mind that i need a LEFT handed reel, lol.
i was looking at this http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...003000_100-3-1
and was also thinking about getting this http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...001000_100-1-1 and putting it on a rod i already own.
opinions? suggestions?

Dick's usually has a Abu Silver Max/Berkley Lightning Rod combo on sale for $59.99ish. That's going to be your best bang for the buck setup.

If you want to buy them seperate. Buy either a Berkley Amp rod or Okuma Reflexion (on sale right now at Fisherman's)

Yeah it's not on the site, you'd have to go to the store. They don't list the combos that they have in the store on the site.

I have two and haven't had an issue with them. I've caught steelhead with them as well, if that counts for anything.

Never really been a fan of Quantum reels personally.
