BL Rod and reel recommendation?
 

I am taking some guests (yanks) fishing Wed. They have never used a baitcast reel.. I have been buying throw away reels like zebco 33s for my lil girl and wife. Any suggestions on a quality closed faced rod and reel for saltwater that will last.. Also I have been using stiff Bass rods.. What rod or action would yall recommend ?

Thanks ahead!!

just buy some shimano compre rods and sahara spinning reels they will hold up and have a lifetime warranty , prolly 150/ set up . get medium 7'

Spinning reels for sure:)

Core 50mg with a 6ft 8 Waterloo rod

what does this set up cost 500-600 bucks

:rotfl::rotfl: 10-4

Pox made a good/economical recommendation on the rod. (unlike the waterpoo comment ;-p) I picked up a compre for a backup rod to leave at the bend. Have only used it 3 trips but for the money I've found to really like its balance and it's pretty light/sensitive.

Yeah, thanks Pox , I will look at them this evening. I am not sure my geusts , or my 10 year old would appreciate the quality of the Waterloo or Core 50. If I ever wear out my Citica's (if that is possible) I have spares that i bought when they were under a 100 bucks.

the compre is 80 bucks at tackle direct website

I like my 6'6" lightning. Not the new split grip. Best $35 I ever spent

ive had compre/sharaha set ups for guests on my boat for years ...never wash em , they have been submerged in saltwater numerous times , and still ticking . only other spinning reel ive personally owned that has help up that good is a 360 penn slammer, and the drag is strong as hell on it ive caught red and mangrove snapper wevr chummed to the surface on that reels

Shimano Clarus and Sahara is all you need
I have a few 6'8 worm and jig
Medium Fast action it's an all around set up you can work soft plastics and still sling crickets if you want

I've got a Sienna reel that has lasted 10 years now. $30!!! My son caught 26the fish on it Saturday. Can't beat the reel for the price. Go get some low dollar shimano rods to pit them in and your good ti go.





I was Finns make the core/Waterloo joke........buy W made it alrwdy, bit he wasn't kidding

Wow. I'm.full of typos!!!

Ummm.......yeah:rotfl:

get an Okuma spin cast and put it on an ugly stick

I thought "w" had typed all that

Why do your guests have to be "yanks"? I'm offended. :)

U guys tie the knot yet? ;)

Well, its not their fault , they can't help where they were born. But Muskegon Michigan is a bit north of I-10. But then again so is DeeRidder:D
