Pete Maina Combo

[bonefish]

Has anyone had any experience with the Pete Maina combo from Bass Pro? Who makes the reel?

Have 6 of these combos and love everyone of them. For the price, they can't be beat IMHO!!! For all around rods, the 7'6" and 8' footers are your best bet coupled with the 5:2:1 reels.

For the reels, I am not sure if they are made by a "brand" name company. But from experience, I do know they are good reels!!

i think the reels are made by phlueger for bass pro.

Thanks for the info. I thought they looked good, but was a bit skeptical because the price seemed almost too low!

i have two of the phlueger trion reels that i use for muskies, and so far i am happy with them. i also bought a BP reel last year,( looks just like my trions, but smaller) no problems either. a shop owner was the one that told me about who makes the reels for BP.

I use the Maina combos as well. Love them to death. You could probably find better rods for more money, but for the price they are the best I think. I actually have 2 being shipped to my house right now!! Only a couple more weeks!!
