Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well.
Im going to be shoping for a new rod and reel here pretty soon.
What do you guys sugest, or what is your favorite setup?

Thanks

What will/how will you be fishing with said rod/reel combo???

Yeah your question is a little to open ended. What type of fishing will you be doing.

Reggie

maybe jerking some crappie out of a brushpile, with jigs or minnows.
Thinking about something long but not to long.

Thanks

What is your budget limit? $20, $200, $2000, $10000, or $1 Million? Are you going to be fishing off the bank or boat?

well i may not be as complex just yet......so this what i got based on reading post on here......for rods i have 2 and son has one his is bucks jig pole 8' easier for him to work with...its has plueger 6725 on it line is suffix 8# i have same pole 10' and also a st croix 5'6" both with shimano stradic 1000 same line....i bought it mostly on here for grand total of 280 bucks.....i bought small pole for the rocks i fish.

A good all around rig is a medium light to medium spinning rod with a medium spinning reel. Shimano, Daiwa and others make good ones. Spool it with 6lb test and you will be good to go. I mostly use 2000-2500 series Shimano reels. A Sienna, Sonora or Sedona will work just fine. These can be found for $30-$50. For a rod you can get a Wally Marshall or B&M jig pole for $40. I have used Wally Marshall line in the past but I am now using Sufx neon orange in 6lb test. Add a pockfull of jigs and plastics are your good to go. You can find everything you need at Academy.
