So, I snapped my favorite spinning rod last week. (Pre stupidity on my part) the reel is my trusty PENN 1500 that I've had for years. I had a PENN brand 7' medium rod on it.
I use it for speck fishing mainly.

A) Any suggestion on a new one?

B)Ugly Stik is the only suggestion I've gotten so far. Any thing else worth looking at

just bought a 7' medium H2O express (blue rod)from academy. I like it a lot so far. I think it was in the $70-$80 range

Just put one on my old Shimano reel after the kid broke my old rod.

Lew's American Hero Speed Stick
7'M F Inshore model

A pretty good rod for the price ($70).

If you have an extra $20ish to put into it the Go2 series from Castaway is great. I've got a 7' medium, been using it a little over 2 years. Plenty of specks, mackerel, and a few reds landed on it.
