Which Poll Should I Get?

[jooleyen]

I only have 1 spinning setup and it's a light action Ugly Stick thats 5'4" with a Pflueger President Mini spinning reel. I don't really like using it for bass fishing because it is too light and has too whippy of a rod tip, I cant set the hook well.
My dad offered a trade of fishing polls, and he has one Berkley rod called a Berkley Select or something like that. He also has a 6'6" Ugly Stick.

Both of the rods have the same reel, which is a Shimano Sienna 2000. http://www.fishusa.com/tackleshop/ca...6EE99B519&fx=1

One of the reels is bad and needs to be fixed or replaced with another reel. If he buys a new reel he would give it to me. The reel would probably be around $30. Which rod should I take, and what do you think is a good reel for the $30 price range?

Thanks.

Julien.
