scsexybassgirl Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Hi everybody, I'm looking for a good spinning reel for abot 50 to $100, I also need a good rod too put it on. Thanks for any help. I only bass fish. Quote
Big T Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Good - Shimano Sahara $59.99 Better- Shimano Symtre $79.99 Even Better Shimano Stradic $119-$159.99 BPS has some excellent combos as well, I believe you can get a Shahara/Bionic Blade combo on sale for $89.99. Also even though I personally like Shimano reels better, you can get a Plfueger President/ BPs Extreme combo for around $99, this is an excellent setup as well. I use a 400o sereis reel because I need more line capicity due to the fact as I use the same reels for inshore saltwater, however for bass fishing a 2500 series will be sufficent and much lighter.

scsexybassgirl Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 Thanks, I like Shimano too. I heard they make some pretty good rods too. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted January 20, 2007 Super User Posted January 20, 2007 Shimano Shimano Shimano Symetre or Stradic, depending on what you want to spend. Geez, I feel like RW... ;D How much do you want to spend on the rod? Shimano Compre is a nice mid-level rod. Get a 6'6 M and you should be set. Quote
scsexybassgirl Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 About $100 on the rod,I like a good rod. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted January 20, 2007 Super User Posted January 20, 2007 According to what most everyone touts, St Croix Premier. $90 for a 6'6 MF. Quote
heathen Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I would get a Falcon Original or St Croix Premier (around $80 +/-) put the extra $20 towards the reel and go with a Shimano Stradic 2500. Quote

Super User Dan: Posted January 21, 2007 Super User Posted January 21, 2007 That supreme is a nice looking reel. I got a Medalist for Christmas and I have enjoyed it a lot. It is a very smooth real. Quote
Guest avid Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Hello, welcome to the forum great screen name. but where's the photo? Quote
scsexybassgirl Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 Don't have any pics, I can put on here, lol Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted January 22, 2007 Super User Posted January 22, 2007 Just our luck ! Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 22, 2007 Super User Posted January 22, 2007 Welcome aboard! The best "value" is a rod & reel combination, on sale, at one of the major retailers. I would suggest looking for a 2500 series reel and a 6 1/2' or 7 ' Medium Power/ Fast Action spinning rod. For around $150 you should be able to buy about $250 (retail) worth of equipment. If you are not in a hurry, keep an eye on the "Flea Market" here at BassResource.com. GREAT deals pop up every now and then. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted January 22, 2007 Super User Posted January 22, 2007 I agree with RW. Specifically, look into the BPS Extreme/Shimano Stradic combo. Right now, they're on sale for $140. The reel is normally $120, so you're not going to find a better rod for $20. http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=59174&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults Quote

I was looking for a new spinning rod and reel as well and that is a real good deal I don't think I can pass up. One question, I'm not sure whether I should get a 6' M or 6' 6" M. I will almost exclusively use it for Smallies and Largemouths. I don't need MH because thats what my baitcasting equipment is for. Probably I would be using it for light soft plastics, maybe some Rapala floating minnows and other small cranks (not too much though I'm not a big cranker), light jigs as well. Hopefullly that is enough info, any suggestions soon would be appreciated because I don't want that deal to go away. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted January 23, 2007 Super User Posted January 23, 2007 VA, I'd go with 6'6"... Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted January 24, 2007 Super User Posted January 24, 2007 Just my two cents worth. But for me it is hands down,it has to be a Pflueger President $ 60.00 you can't go wrong.It has 9 stainless ball bearings. I have 3 of them and I love them! :) ;) Quote
