What are you fishing for? 6.4:1 gear ratio isn't that crazy - there are reels out there with 8.x:1 and even higher gear ratios haha.

It looks like I can pickup combos with this reel all over for ~80, and I can't find a rod for less than $100. Is it better deal to just pickup a combo with rod?

You can, they usually have a 50 or 60 dollar combos that roll out a few times a year, you can search them here in the past. You can also pair it with the Berkeley Cherrywood for 25$ which is also a good starting baitcaster rod and youd get a nice starting combo under 60$.
