Need reel suggestions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have four Ugly Stick Tiger Rods medium-light 12-30 pounds. These will be part of the raffle/auction at Bass and Brew. I want to get reels for them so that they will be combos suitable for bass and rockfish. It will need to be used reels in good shape. I've spent quite a bit already and can't afford four new reels. I'm not sure what matches up to them at a reasonable price. If you have a reel in good shape that you aren't using let me know. If you have a reel you could donate I (and my wife), would appreciate the savings. Thanks for putting up with me everyone.

Maybe some of the new okuma Cortez smallest size loaded with braid I live these reels. Light and strong and all u need for those kind if fishing. Used will be cheaper and they retail off shelves 4 130 so u might be able to get one for around 100 bucks. Another reel that is a little cheaper and smaller is the Abu Garcia record or any of their round baitcast reels besides the 60 dollar bcx. The round baitcasts I think they are the 6500 series that retail for 90 to 80 bucks

Don't know much about those rods but are you looking for spinning or baitcasting?

I agree with spottieslayer, get a jigmaster, cheap and effective.
