Good quality baitcaster combothat is cheaper
There are a lot of combos in that price range. Most places have a couple of their "house" brand combos under $100. Abu has a pretty good one also!

Did I do good?
I've got one and I like it so far. My buddy who fishes local tourneys has a half dozen. Don't believe all the nonsense about spending a pile on a reel (or rod) if you don't have it to spend. Take care of it and it will last a long time.

Late 80's Shimano Bantam Magnumlite 1550 SG Speedmaster
It was pretty much a top of the line reel. I had one and destroyed it this spring when it flew out of the boat going down the highway. Peeled the sideplate right off of it...

Hoosier bass'ers, I hope your having more luck than me?
Been doing OK numbers wise but only a few over 15 with the biggest, so far, being 2.5 lbs. My buddy who fishes tourneys hit one about 6.5 a couple of weeks ago. I figure it's just a matter of time before I hit a couple of bigger ones.

Anybody remember...
The Renosky scattering shad? I just found a half a dozen that I'm going to break out again. I used to really pound them on those!

Storm Wildeye Swim Shad question
Straight retrieve. I've also had good success "dragging" them on the bottom if your bottom structure allows it.

Your tackle buying strategy?
'Bout half. Mostly baits. Find a lot on clearance and I hate sorting through bargain bins unless they're freshly stocked!
