i'm getting enough swimbaits to warrant the purchase of a new swimbait rod

i already have the diawa swimbait special extra heavy, and that works well for smaller baits

i'm looking for a rod that i will be able to throw huddlestons on and some larger plugs/ rubber baits
basically lures that are about 4-8 ounces

but i dont want anything over 175$

then I need a reel

i have a cardiff 300 but I've had some problems with that reel and was looking for one that could handle the big baits for under 125$

My spending limit is around 275$ maybe a little more

thanks for the help

ps: i tried a search but there was liek a billion hits, so i kept trying and still had too many hits
