Hey everyone, I learned an expensive lesson this weekend. Was messing with the kayak not paying attention and a wave flipped me over. Lost my two nice fishing rods. It’s been a few years since I bought the reel and the rod was given to me. I’m in the market for something but I’m very novice to this.
I enjoyed the baitcaster that I lost in the lake but I had only used it a few times, still learning. I enjoy the spinning reel since I’ve used it my entire life. I don’t know what I’m fishing for, I just go out and fish. That being said, bass fishing is kind of what I’m pretending to do. I’m hoping to spend under $150, I don’t mind bumping it up another $20 if the combo is nicer. $200 being my absolute max.
What would you suggest? I don’t mind piecing rod and reel or buying a combo.
One of my friends said to get this: Lew's Mach Smash SLP RH Baitcast Combo
Another friend said get a daiwa. Please help me get the most for my money. Thank you.
