Super User skunked_again Posted December 24, 2009 Super User Posted December 24, 2009 id keep a close eye on the flea market. 2 rods that id buy under $70 are the BPS Extreme and the Berkley Shock. Quote
NewAngler Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I would def get a MH setup. Just my opinion, and it may not be .02 Quote
central.PA.bass Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 i would def. get a 7' MH Baitcaster rod Quote
Ojurb Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 im in the same boat, i think ive pretty much decided im gonna get a bps extreme 7' MH fast rod and reel combo they are have on sale for $100, i figure i can use the BPS reel until it fails and then get a decent reel, but im already getting a nice rod for the price Quote
I.rar Posted December 24, 2009 Author Posted December 24, 2009 good stuff. thats what i was leaning towards also. just gotta keep an eye open on the bay and in the flea market. Quote

flippin and pitchin Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 A 7 foot MH casting will be the most versatile set up you could buy. At least it will allow you to fish spinnerbaits, medium weight jgs, buzzbaits and most any plastics. There are a number of surprizingly good reels in the 40 to 50 buck range if you shop around. I had a local tackle shop run the AG Black Maxx for only $29.97 on a two day sale. Merry Christmas !! Quote

No kidding. Maintain that Extreme reel and it should last you good long while. Quote
