The combo's are cheaper made. I currently run the 5ft spinning combo rod with a abu garcia cardinal. Rod is alot cheaper looking than my $30 6ft uglies. Still no complaints it still holds up just fine. Actually caught a 50lb alligator snapper on the light action 5 footer with 30lb powerpro. Now yes the more higher end stiks like the ugly stik tiger 7ft with fuji eyes are way better quality. Ive never actually owned the cork handled ones but they look decent. Basspro has some awesome $200 ugly stiks 6ft with the steel roller guide eyes, i want too combo one of those with a decent lever drag for my newest Big Cat Setup.
