Need an opinion
Don't really do alot of fishing but get more and more into it every year..Whats the best rod and reel to buy for the right price??

my vote is for the Battle ship Calcutta on an All Star rod. But many will disagree with me, ...............like any minute now |

I like My shimano citica (100 ish?)/st.croix Mojo bass 7ft medium rod-90. OR Academy sells Americain Rod smiths, and Castaways that sell for around $60 a rod. Pair that up with a citica, and you good to go! If you want to spend more $$$ on the reel, Curado would be your next best i'm sure. |
Spinning or baitcast? Budget?
|
Its whats comfortable for you man... Fish with what feel sright in your hands.... Leave your wife at home, and spend about 4 hours in an academy, Bass Pro, or Cabelas just playing with rods.... (Spend alot of time with the Falcon Low Rider XG).. when you get a rod that feels good in ya hand, kind of like a Falcon Lowrider XG 7' Medium Heavy would feel.... and get a Shimano 200-E7 from "W".. Then you will have you a really good setup.... I promise

Kinda like askin what kinda car to get or how big of a house. 1. Budget 2. What kinda fish 3. Style ( baitcast or spinning) 4. How often will u go answer these then u can go pick out Ur set up:) |
i always get the combos from academy for less than a 100. you can pick up some decent ones for 50-70 bucks. I don't get to fish as much as most of these guys so i can't justify the higher end ones. I bought one last year with a all star rod i love that rod. it has an h20 reel on it. so far so good

I like falcon low rider, med action fast for spinner bait, med heavy fast for worming, as far a reels I like the revo sx, but the citica is a great reel too I've bought too many reels under $100 and have returned all of em except the ambassador c3 and c4 which aren't a great reels but they last a life time

If you fish saltwater, most of low end reels [under $ 50] probably will not hold up for more than a year....maybe longer if you take good care of it. Academy has been sell h2s equipment for a couple of years now. The h2s Mettle reel has impressed some [very smooth and cast well] that have bought it.....[I don't have this reel]. The reviews are good for freshwater....but not much talk as to how they hold up in saltwarer use. This reel sells for ~ $ 69 but does go on sale for much lower. I think I saw it for $ 40 a few weeks ago. |

Heard good and bad about the H2O, but if you don't fish much it would be worth it. |
