A Question for you guys

Ok so I recently came across some birthday money and I'm looking into a bait caster. The most I want to pay is around $110.00 but I'm willing to pay a little more. I've looked at Cabelas and Bass Pro and living in Idaho, I could go to the bass pro in Salt Lake or the Cabelas in Boise. I want a rod/reel combo and I've liked Abu-Garcia and the combo's that Bass Pro makes themselves. I have never owned a bait caster but I've used a friends before. Like I said I have no idea so tell me in the comments what you think is good or email me at salmon_marlinfish@yahoo.com.
