[Wammiee]

Opinions on the best overall SPINNING ROD thats under $125.00?

Best overall SPINNING REEL thats under $100.00?

Pflueger President(9 bearings) a possibility?

[Grey Wolf]

Don't know what you will use them for but any rod & reel in that price range are decent.

The best thing to do is go to a fishing store and try differant reels on rods until you find something that feels good to you.

Reels-shimano , daiwa , Abu Garcia ,pflueger , quantum , are some that make quality reels.

Rods-shimano , falcon , st. croix , abue garcia all make good rods in that price range.

I have had good luck with Shimano Saros reels, and I have a pretty new Shimano Compre rod and I LOVE it!

i use a 6' st. croix premier rod(light) should run you between 90-100 bucks, however i got mine paired with a shimano stradic ci42500 which costs 200$. i think it's an awesome combo and it's super light, makes catching those 2 lb bass more exciting

[boystcroix]

check out the shimano symetre or the cheaper sahara both are very nice, smooth reel . only bummer is they don't come with spare spool anymore

[mark nowak]

Shimano Symetre 2500 and BPS Carbonlite 6'8" MHXF

I would look into the Lews Tournament LFS Speed Spin TSS2000 spinning reel and a Shimano Crucial CRSX68M rod. I have this combo for fishing tubes, small worms, and small jigs and it is absolutely incredibly light and sensitive.

I have a Powell Max 7'3" M/XF that I use for those techinques, minus the spinners, and plus finesse jigs. It cost me $170. I wanted a light and sensitive rod.

For the reel, I have a cheapo Shimano Sonora (less than $50). It has a decent drag though, and I haven't faced any problems with it. I didn't see any need to put a 100 dollar reel, since the bait is sitting still most of the time anyway.

The total comes up to a little under $220, and you can buy a pack or two of senkos with the leftover

[Fish Fast]

I would check the St. Croix Premier rods out (or the triumph series for that matter). Another rod that I just picked up and handled that really impressed me was the Abu Garcia Veritas. Very light, very sensitive, and supposedly very durable. For $99.95, they will be hard to beat!

Tight Lines, and let us know what you get!

[Lucky Craft Man]

Can't really help you with the rod (there are a ton of good options), but I think the best spinning reel under $100 is the Pflueger Supreme. I have 9 of these reels and they go on everything from my Cabelas XML's to my G Loomis NRX Drop Shot Rod.

[northern basser]

Pflueger president xt on a abu garcia veritas. Not sure what the lightest action is on a veritas though. I have my president xt on a Cabelas XML spinning rod. The XML is a very nice and sensitive rod. Its not as light as the veritas, but it is more sensitive.

I Have the Pflueger President XT paired with a Browning Citori 7' M-F that I was for my wacky and even chatter baits. I also have the Pflueger Supreme paired with Carbonlite 6'8 M-XF That I use for shaky heads.

For lite worms I tell you you can't beat the Gander Mountain Tournament Combo for $79 I think it's still the same price. Excellent combo in my opinion. I had my combo (6'6 rod) for several years now and I might just use that for wacky now on. . I was told Gander Mountain really up the warranties on their fishing equipment??

[I.rar]

compre and saros, imo.

[Loomis24]

I would recommend the Pflueger Supreme. I have it paired with a Veritas rod. Very good pairing. I use 8lb Flouro on it. I would check into that

[AndyPlaysDrums]

I have a Cabela's Tournament ZX 2500A reel mounted to a 6'6" MXF Cabela's Prodigy rod, that I'm very pleased with.

[Stasher1]

Here ya go. Pick your reel size and rod length/power/action. I'd suggest the 9235 and the 6'8" MXF.

[WdyCrankbait]

Yeah, the Symmetry is a great reel! I have that and a Shimano Sedona, get reels! As for as rods, see/feel which rods match up best and balance well on them. Pfleuger and Diawa does make great stuff, I just have never had trouble with Shimano so why leave them.

[lou304]

Anyone try the Temple Fork outfitters gary Loomis rods yet? They are $100 and you can't go wrong with a Shimano Symetre.

Supreme or President XT which one do you prefer?

Supreme or President XT which one do you prefer?

I just like my XT.

[Stasher1]

I have owned both, but sold the President XT and kept the Supremes. The XT is a nice reel, but the weight difference alone is enough of a reason to choose the Supreme over the XT, imho.
