The Powell naked series is interesting (and there 139 at TW)
It's 7' med with a X fast action. That's what I use for wacky, ned rigs or DS
Need the X fast tip. good looking handle and I like the JDM style
If you like holding a spinning rod forward in your hand, the Daiwa Tatula feels wonderful. To me the grip and balance point of a spinning rod have almost as much importance as the physical blank itself. I think the Tatula punches above its weight class.

Recently picked up a GLX 852s. Was going to go with the NRX+ 852s but I didn’t like the new blank at all. The GLX 852s has a fantastic blank. I’ve been fishing a little bit of everything on it including jerkbaits. Not crazy about the handle though. It bugs me.
Only reason I’m mentioning this rod is it’s above your price point but I saw a lightly used one listed in the bassresource classifieds for what you want to stay under a few days ago and maybe it’s something you would want to go for. Amazing blank. Terrible handle. Hmm! :)
ALX Trickster. A very special rod, for sure. Well below your $300 price point. Handles all of those techniques and more exceedingly well. I find it has superb sensitivity, comfort and durability.
I have rods that cost 3 times as much that don't see half the playing time. Its one of those "always in my boat" rods.
Of course, it helps that I caught a 5 lb. bass on my first cast with it 5 years ago. That was a great start to a wonderful relationship!
