I'm trying to get my boyfriend a new rod/reel for his birthday, and he goes bass fishing with his dad alot, but wants a new one.
I however, know next to nothing about bass fishing!
Was wondering if anyone had any strong opinions on a reasonably priced, good quality rod/reel. Brand name, specific model. Anything.
They typically fish in lakes around NC, SC, VA, sometimes he's down in FL.
Any help would be great. I don't even know where to start. I could always drop by bass pro shop, but I'd like opinions from real fishermen!
Thanks.
