GoRavens Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Sup guys, my birthday was yesterday and my wife said I could get a rod and reel. Problem is I don't know what to get. I'm mostly a bank fisherman. I currently own a Duckett ghost mh with a lews ss1. I think I want something to get my spinnerbaits and crankbaits further out. So bb1 pro? Tatula? What's a good medium action rod? Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Walmart.com for a Tatula rod just over $100 not the XT. Or a Dobyns Fury for your rod. Tatula reels are a great deal on Ebay around $94. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Spinnerbaits are notoriously hard to cast due to their poor aerodynamics. Lighten your line , make sure the Rod power matches the weight you want to throw and flush your spool bearings to get max casting. Buy a new setup for a technique or application you can't cover with what you have. Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 20, 2016 Super User Posted February 20, 2016 Irod Freds Crank launcher Jr, 7'6" MH is ideally suited for you application. Any good 200-300 series well tuned baitcasting reel in your price range should work. It's the rod that cast lures. Tom Quote

thirtysixit Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Rod: 6'6'' Falcon Original Reel: Abu Garcia Revo S That was my first combo and I could throw a little of everything. I learned a ton of techniques that way. Quote
