Pretty much you can get into a Gloomis (not IMX or GLX) in your price range. The bronzeback series is very good. Also you can get into The St.Croix Avid or Legend tournament series in that price range. Shimano Crucial or Cumara. All of these listed have lifetime warranty and are very solid in performance.

Im more of the spinning type myslef. And happen to have a rod for each of the techniques you mentioned. I started shakeyhead fishing with a 6'6"ML Avid and that is now a topwater rod, I use a 6'10" medium for shakey heads. Also use a 7' ML for jigs. I like a short rod for my Grubs, so i use a 6'3" ml. Hope that helps.

Listed on the Community tacklebox i have a very lightly used 6'6" Medium StCroix Avid for sale, if interested.

E21 Carrot Stix, they are selling 2008 models - that were selling for $149 as low as $119. I like the feel of the cumara but I didn't like the first eye from the reel it was too big for me, also the carrot sticks have an over the counter lifetime warranty, check into this becasue some have shipping fee's to replace the rods. The sensitivity is awesome and I love the design of the eyes, they aren't like regular inserts they wrap around the eye. They also were best in class a year or two ago.
