Idahobassin Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Hey guys I'm just looking into tournament angling and I was wondering what your opinions were on the best 250$ combo would be? I will be purchasing 4 baitcast combos as I already have a baitcast and a spinning combo I'm eyeballing the shimano citica I paired with the dobyns fury. Thanks Quote
hzzhangc Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I'm guessing you are planning to spend $1000 for your new tackles. To me it doesn't need to be four $250 combos. Spend more on your bottom contact rod and less for moving baits. 2 Quote
ABW Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Like the above poster, I would spend more on the bottom contact rod, and less on the moving baits. Use the Labor Day sales! Quote
dam0007 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 4 Omens and 4 Curados or Citicas. But if your lefty and want a 5:1 for crankin you're gonna need to get a older model Chronarch. I'm bias to both brands. Love em! There are many great brands in same price range though others will chime in. 7'6 MH or H fast with a 7:1 pitching flipping 7'1 MH fast with a 7:1 Worm and Jig 7'0 +/- M or MH moderate with a 5:1 stuff with trebles 6'6-6'10 M Fast with a 6:1 top water, flukes, senkos Edit* after thought if your just starting out tourneys you're only gonna be bringing 4-5 rods with you to begin with if you're a co angler so you're gonna want to be able to cover many bases without getting too technical.

zachb34 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I'll say something slightly different in the sense that, for bottom contact baits get a more expensive rod and a decent reel. Moving baits get a nice reel and a lesser rod maybe $100 or possibly less on the rod. Quote
Idahobassin Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 What do you guys like for bottom contact rods? Quote
