Maybe treat yourself to a guided fishing trip, somewhere you arent used to going. They probbably costs more than 100 dollars though...

Duckjerky,
I have a lot of jigs(plastics), a 5'6" eagle claw ultra lite with a small shakespare spinnin reel, a 7' zebco medium with a cheaper than dirt pushbutton that i hate and another couple of cheap zebcos. i'm in the market for a new rod & reel, some hand tied jigs close to frisco, a good 6# line and whatever else i can get. crappie fishing only.

Thanks! What's a good inexpensive baitcast brand?

Check out the Shakespeare synergy I believe that jay don has at finny tribe. It is right around $21

i put an abu cardinal on a 7' berkley cherrywood from walmart for pretty cheap. check them out. good setup, but might set you back $50-60.

Well, sounds like you have plenty of baits, and a good smaller-sized rod/reel combo, and a working 7' rod/reel that you'd like to replace.

Everything you are looking to purchase you could get straight from www.FinnyTribe.com and it will be on your doorstep very quickly. I'd recommend a 7.5'-9' B'n'M rod...FinnyTribe carries the 7.5' Crappie Wizard on sale now for $31.79, or the 9' Sam Heaton Super Sensitive on sale now for $39.32. That is a terrific price on both of those rods. Match it up with a $20-$25 spinning reel and you will be way ahead of the equipment you are currently using. I personally have used the above mentioned rods all over the country for the past 7 years, and I think you will be very pleased with them.

As far as line, they sell the Vicious 6-pound Hi-Vis line for 9.99 a spool.

That rod/ree/line combo will put you up around $75, and still leave you a little cash to fill out the rest of your needs like jigs/hooks/other terminal tackle...or whatever else you may need.

Hope this helps.

If I had $100 bucks (not a chance with 5 kids), and considering what you already have....I would load up the truck or car and spend the C-note on gas and a campsite at a place you have never fished but always wanted to. Try a new place and build your memory bank. Take your spouse, kids, or a good buddy with and have a blast. It's always great to try a new place.

Drive to my house and Ill help you
