New rod advice

[cheferson]

I just broke off the top 6-8 inches of my 8ft tica last night . I was gonna just put a tip on the top, but got some advice and decided to just get a new one, dont wanna loose my first 40lber because of a #^&#^&#^&#^&e rod. I mainly throw eels and plugs up to 3.5 ounces, and will be using a penn 6500ss. The area i fish is very rocky and rairly fish the sand. I also mainly target larger fish . What do you guys think would be a good fit for under $100??

Thanks
