After fishing for many years with spinning set ups out of my kayak, at the end of last year I got my first bait casting set up. It is a BPS extreme rod MF rod and BPS extreme reel. The set up cost about $150. After the typical initial troubles getting used to using it, I've gotten pretty good with it. I'm looking to add to my arsenal and also upgrade a bit, though I'm not looking to spend more (or at least not much more) than $200 all in. I'm also looking to get something for lighter presentations -- unweighted worms, small shakey head jigs, etc. I've been looking at ML power rods with F and EF action. The idea of getting a ML power rod does limit somewhat the number of options available as many models do not come in that power -- there's a ML St. Croix Avid that looks great, but it blows most of my budget at about $180. I've been looking more closely at the BPS CarbonLite series, which has a medium light power 6'6" rod: http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-CarbonLite-Trigger-Rods/product/10205012/66742 It is currently on sale for $79 (from $99). As far as reels go, I was looking at both the BPS Pro Qualifier (at $99 not on sale) and the BPS Carbonlite Johnny Morris model (which is on sale from $129 to $109): http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Johnny-Morris-CarbonLite-Baitcast-Reels/product/1110020501438/274204 Thoughts on that combo? Any other rod/reel combos to suggest keeping the total to the $200 range? Thanks in advance. Rick
