I'm in the market for a BASS / WALLEYE ROD and REEL combo. I can only spend bout 200.00 because my boat needs fixing too. What would be my best bet as to Rod and Reel combinations? I'd prefer baitcaster rods/reels combinations.
suggestions please!!


Thanks in advance,
Web

The Pfluger Trion is a great low profile bait casting reel for about $90-$100. That leaves you in the $100 range for a decent quality medium action rod. I think you can pick up a Top of the line Gander Mountain Guide Series in the $70 range.

It's hard to beat the ambassader bait casting reels. I have several and have never been disappointed. They usually run from $55 - 80. I've never felt the need to spend more than $50 on a rod. The Guide Series rods are good. Bass Pro also offers some very nice rods carrying their name for the money.

If you look for a good sale you should really be able to pick up a nice bait casting combo and a spinning combo(I like shimano spinning reels) for about $200.

I would think for $200 you could get yourself a real nice combo. My money would go toward a Shimano Curado reel and a St. Croix Premier series rod. For walleye/bass I think I would go with a medium/heavy 6'6" rod. I have a Curado SF reel and I can cast a 1/8 ounce bait a long ways. I am really impressed by this reel. I also have a Quantum Accucast 400AC and I really like that reel too. It has a flipping switch which is nice to have for trolling cranks for walleyes and for flipping jigs for both bass and walleyes. I also have St.Croix's in the Premier, Avid, and Legend series. They are all my favorite rods. It just comes down to what you can spend. I have found that an expensive rod makes more of a difference than an expensive reel.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
