Butterworth Powergraph comes in at under a $100 at #A#mart. Not bad for the price.

I't only 12.6 but a sigature g h 3600s about $65.. it has been a good rod for me...
I have a older 4500 B-runner and it's ok but I find the line retrieveal is to slow for spining in the surf and not a good caster for distance... I guess it comes down to what you want to do with it..

I have a daiwa Emcast Sport,,, for spinning off the beach and find it to be top's in casting and line retrieveal aswell as line capacity,, much better the the b-runner for spining baits or lures...

Don't just look at the Gear Ratio of a reel have a look at the Line Retrieve Per Crank as well..

Just my 2c ;)
