The Bass Man 2 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm going to gander mountain this week to buy a new spinning reel and pole mostly used for walleyes. A bait caster and pole that will be used for pitching worms to spinner baits. I have around 200$ to spend. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 24, 2009 Super User Posted March 24, 2009 So you're looking for one spinning rig and one casting rig, correct? Quote
MarauderYak Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Like a lot of people on here, I'd rather spend my full gear budget on a single outfit of the highest possible quality. But... if you want to best spend around $200 at Gander on a general walleye spinning combo & general bass baitcast combo, I'd go with these two: http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=401579&pdesc=Pflueger_President_Freshwater_Spinning_Combo&r=view&from=grid http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=410786&pdesc=Pflueger_Purist_Baitcast_Combo&cname=Baitcast-Combos&aID=504A3A&merchID=4006&r=view I'm not throwing my personal recomendation behind these as the best option for spending $200, but it's the best option I saw within your criteria.

OIFBasser Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 The Gander Mtn. had a Quantum PT Baitcasting combo for $99. As far as a spinning combo for walleye, I'd check out the Pfleuger President combo. Those run about $80, and you'd have $20 left over to spool them. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted March 24, 2009 Super User Posted March 24, 2009 I would definitely go with the President for spinning. As for the baitcasting I wouldn't be so quick to jump on the purist....there are better. The Quantum Code combo is 129...not the best but I really like mine and has done me well. I don't know what reel is on the Quantum PT combo but it might be good to check out Quote
Flywatersmallie Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 That combo at Gander is a Accurist PT reel on one of the old Tour (pre PT) rods. If I recall, they are all 7' Medium. Not a bad buy for a hundred bucks Quote
