I think it's difficult to get a good rod and reel for under $150.
The rod I use the most is a St. Croix Premier two piece 6' medium light action rod. The rod is $ 130. Before I got the St. Croix rod, I had a Cabela's Fish Eagle II rod, which are normally $ 90 but are on sale for $ 54. The Fish Eagle II is not a bad rod, I used it for years and changed because I wanted something more sensitive.
I know your coupon is for Bass Pro. Is it for a % off or a set $ amount? Might be worthwhile to compare that to sale prices elsewhere.
I'm partial to Shimano reels. There are some models that cost as little as $ 15 but it's junk. I really like Stradics but they are prohibitively expensive now. The Spirex is an OK reel; they're $ 60.
I'm sure you're going to get a lot of opinions.
