bassman018 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Alright well I have currently 5 rods and reels, 4 are spinning and one is casting... Here is the actions/ line weights all that good stuff... Quantum tenacity casting combo 6'6 Med action 8-17lb line (I run 12 pound trilene big game, in green) Mitchell Advanta spinning Med action 6'6 6-12lb line (I run 10lb stren mono) Leeland lures sore lip rod with an okuma sentry spinning 6'6 Fast light action 2-6lb line (I run 4lb trilene xl) Shakespeare UL spinning 4'6 2-6lb line (I run 4lb trilene xl) And a POS zepco spinning thats a really floppy medium that I have 12lb on (rarely sees use) (I run 12lb Pline flouroclear) Alright. so I suppose for being 15 this isnt too bad but really What do you think I should designate the rods I have as (crankbait, worm, topwater, etc) and also What is a good value baitcast combo or affordable rod and affordable reel, I want something nice but really can only spend about a hundred. Also I know that the fast action and ul isnt really standard bass tackle but its nice for some smaller ponds. So thank you for any input you have on this stuff. Quote
central.PA.bass Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Where are you located in PA? I live near state college and go to grad school at Slippery Rock.. For 100 dollars that is going to be tough.. Check out dicks.. you can probably find a nice baitcasting combo there for around 100 dollars.. Quote
bassman018 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Im located over around bucks and montgomery county. And I should probably check them out again, Thats where I bought my quantum baitcast and 2 other rods... Quote
Vinny Chase Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 If you are looking to add another rod to your arsenal I would say add one with a little more power for spinnerbaits and larger profile plastics...look at adding a 7' Fenwick MH HMG and pair that with a citica..I know this is double your budget, but I would recommend saving your money until you can afford something a little better, trust me it is worth it you don't want to skimp on your tackle..

AbuGarcia-4-Life Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Look at Bass Pro, Cabelas, and Dicks. They have alot of Casting combos for only $100. But I tell you what get the Bill Dance rod/reel at bass Pro, my dad has had that reel for a year now and still throws good. The reel is a Quantum Response in different color, my lil brother has 3 and they are good cheap reels!! Quote
WanderLust Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Daiwa Exceler combo is tough to beat in this price range. If seen rod and reel for $89... My friend has (4) of these combos. Quote
kayakfisher Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I picked up the diawa megaforce combo from cabelas last year. It was my first baitcast setup, so I didnt want to break the bank. It is listed for $90, and there is free shipping right now. I got mine on sale for I think $70. I have caught a truckload of bass on this thing and have had no problems. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Daiwa-Megaforce174-Pre-Mount-Baitcast-Combos/738864.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dmegaforce%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=megaforce&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted March 17, 2011 Super User Posted March 17, 2011 Dicks has some cheaper combos like the lightening rod combos and they have the Tech Spec rods which are great rods for around $50 Quote

Cabelas has the prodigy rods on sale for $59.99 and sure there is a combo that is very close to your budget with that rod. I have 3 of them now and they are great rods with the Micro rod also being on sale for $80.00. Check each one of there sites and you should be able to find a deal. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Bass Pro has a couple of combos in this weeks sale paper that are within your price range. Quote
