ABW Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I don't think about it too much. You need all of them to fish, so they're equally important to me. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Line Reel Rod I put reel before rod because I fish with a lot of light lines, and a reel with a good drag is important. If you back-reel fish, reel could go last. Line the direct connection to the fish, and is therefore most important. The rod is just the shock absorber and catapult. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 21, 2015 Super User Posted March 21, 2015 I am of the mind set that one's tackle, all your tackle, is a like a big chain; and you're only as strong as the weakest link. When a portion of the chain is miss matched or not operating effectively, I'm changing it to eliminate the problem. A-Jay 3 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 21, 2015 Super User Posted March 21, 2015 All of them are equally important, I would also add the lure too since you don't want that to fail either Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted March 21, 2015 Super User Posted March 21, 2015 Assuming all of the components are of good quality and good condition. Reel........Need a good performing drag, most of my species can strip out some line. Rod.........In the last 10 years my rods have ample backbone, cast well. They do not have to be expensive to meet my criteria. Line......... Sure a fish can be caught with a drone and the Cuban yoyo (no rod or reel), but that's not the way we fish. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I have always been of the mind set that if I only had say $200 to spend on a combo I would spent $150 on the rod and $50 on the reel. To me the Rod is WAY more important in the way I fish. The only thing between you and the fish is the line so I also use the best line I can afford. . Line......and pretty much tied is the Rod . . . . . . . . Reel Quote
