Super User tomustang Posted January 7, 2012 Super User Posted January 7, 2012 Clearanced shimano compre for $49.99 Clearanced shimano citica for $49.99 Quote
BasskingKeith Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Clearanced shimano compre for $49.99 Clearanced shimano citica for $49.99 Where can you find that Citica and Compre for a price like that? Sounds like a helluva deal Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 8, 2012 Super User Posted January 8, 2012 Last I checked, the compre at cabelas (close out) they clearing for new model. Dick's for a citica (discontinued) but probably hard to find now, you can keep an eye out in the for sale section here for one 1 Quote
Fishing-Vol Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Personally, I would still buy a quality used combo that are listed on many fishing forums. Your friend would appreciate it more than a cheap combo, down the road. And you may be able to get your friend two combos for that price. Quote
boonhogganbeck Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 In that price range I've heard good things about the Browning Stalkers at Bass Pro Shop. I have no experience with them, though. Quote
LuckyHandsINC. Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Clearanced shimano compre for $49.99 Clearanced shimano citica for $49.99 If you can get this done you won't find a better combo than this for $100. Might take a lot of searching but worth it. Quote
NCLifetimer Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Dick Sporting Goods (atleast around here) have a Abu Garcia Silver max mounted on a Berkley lightning custom rod. A friend bought it for me years ago and its still a combo I use today. Usually around 70 bucks. Nothing fantastic, but works well and the rod is surprisingly sensitive. If cabelas does have the combo Tom. D mentioned for that price, get that. Very good deal Quote
Super User webertime Posted January 9, 2012 Super User Posted January 9, 2012 Okuma Alumina and Daiwa VIP Smallmouth from TW. Solid reel and great rod. NEW with warranties! Quote
Super User South FLA Posted January 9, 2012 Super User Posted January 9, 2012 That deal on Citicas is SMOKING HOT, Garder has them for $89 and that is still a good deal since it equivalent to the new Curados! Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 10, 2012 Super User Posted January 10, 2012 BPS has some Enigma combos for 69.95. I picked one up, kiler combo! Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 H2O Ethos-$59.99.......H2O Mette reel---$49.99 (baseing reel soley on reviews and the fact that i really love the Ethos rod) From what i gather these 2 go on sale a couple of times a year. the rod goes for $39.99 and reel for $25.00 so on sale you'd spend $65.00 for a awesome set-up. 1 Quote

You took the words right out of my mouth, or in this case, fingers I have a few Mettles, awesome reels. They outcast everything else I own, which includes Curados, Citicas, Zillions, Pflueger Presidents, Supremes, and Patriarchs. Quote
