Some of my best are inexpensive Browning red baitcasters that cost less than $100. Rods? I have two $39 Berkley rods from WalMart that I use with great success with frogs in thick pads. Granted, I don't expect the longevity from them that I would with a $125-and-up rod, but they work well, and I've only broken one of the under-$40 rods. Last edited by phototex; 01/03/17 07:01 AM.

And I used that combo for every technique I knew, cause it was the only one I had. I just look at what conditions we were fishing, and make adjustments until I started catching fish. And we ate a lot of bass.
