Super User FishTank Posted August 24, 2007 Super User Posted August 24, 2007 The old Shimano Curado SF 200/201. They go for about $100-$120 on ebay, new in the box. Quote

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted August 24, 2007 Super User Posted August 24, 2007 shimano citica 200D for $100 at delo's with free shipping. (normally $120, but delos has low prices) Quote
JigNBig Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 my mistake i meant a combo. im a 15 year old kid. i dont have the funds :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Heres a pretty good combo. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90882_100003001_100000000_100003000_100-3-1 Quote

justfishin Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_74447_100003001_100000000_100003000_100-3-1 I would go with the Abu Garcia 4600 and the bionic blade comb. This reel will still be working when you are 30. You just can't beat them in my book. Tough. The Bionic Blades are decent rods for the money, as well. You are 15 so I picked the 4600 over the 5600. You can chose whether it be in left of right hand. As far as the rod I would go with the Medium 6'6". Its a good all around rod and the 6'6" will cast lighter lures like crankbaits and 1/4oz spinnerbaits a little better than a 6'. Get a 1pc rod, and pay the extra 6.00, absolutly. I think this setup would last you a lot of years. Stick some #12 test on that reel, which is a good all around line, and have fun---Jim And its 134.00, hard to beat. If you don't trust any of our opinions pm Reel Mech. He is a expert and knows what last and what does not. Quote
JigNBig Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 I was planning on getting a 7' MH because the lake i fish has alot of weeds and about the only fishing i can get away w/ without my flippin stick is a t-rig 3/8 and up. Im planning on putting some Pline cxx 15lb on it. Biggest fish ever caught in the lake is 13 lbs so i gotta beef up a little because my 6' 6 M isnt getting the job done for single hook applications.

justfishin Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Hmmm, I tend to agree with you. The MH 6-6 sounds better for what you are fishing and the 5600 I think might be a better choice over the 4600 if you decide to go with the Abu Garcia and #15 test. Its even a better reel for flippin and pitchin. You can't hurt them if you keep them maintained as you should all reels. Good luck. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted August 24, 2007 Super User Posted August 24, 2007 Lot of good combo suggestions here.... Tight Lines!!! Quote
koko36265 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Heres a pretty good combo.http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90882_100003001_100000000_100003000_100-3-1 I totally agree.... I have a revo STX-HS and I love it.....I don't think you can go wrong with it.... Also throw in another 10 bucks and get the free bag the are offering... Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Pflueger Trin and I would use the 50 dollar change stockin up on *** Plastics ;D Quote
JigNBig Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 Oh ive got about 60 bucks going to *** for my first order aka about 200 trick sticks in 5" and 7" Quote
Super User David P Posted August 25, 2007 Super User Posted August 25, 2007 If you're going to get a combo from bps, get a combo with the Extreme rod. The Bionic Blade is good, but after having both, I prefer the Extreme rod, I even sent my Bionic blade back and got a combo with the extreme. If you have $170 the Citica/Extreme is a good combo ,I know that's a bit more then you wanted to spend. I fish from shore and prefer my 7ft and 6'10 MH over my 6'6. Quote
JigNBig Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 Thanks i was thinking 7' Mh hoping for maybe a ex. fast action but i dont know w/ 140 bucks Quote
Pond Hopper Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Revo SC and a Bionic Blade or Cabela's similar rod so you only have to pay shipping from one place. Quote
