Wow... great info! Thanks for being so thorough. Almost always fishing from a boat. Fishing everything from rocky bottoms, heavy weed cover, lilly patches etc. I saw the Fenwick @ FFO, looks tempting!! I don't have an unlimited budget, but I'm not afraid to spend $200+ on a nice BC setup. I like to buy things once lol Great tips on the used market

Hi Guys - I'm looking for some intel on tweaking my current setups and adding an additional bait caster to my arsenal. I'm fishing lakes in Northern NJ and NY state. Most of the time I'm fishing rubber worms/creatures as well as topwater, crank/jerk, spinner, and swim baits. All of the following rods are used as multipurpose. As I fish more and get more serious I'd like to tweak my setups and add to my arsenal. Here is what I'm working with right now.. Spinning Rods: All Star Select ASDSSP601M - 6' Fast Medium Line wt: 8-17lb | Lure wt: 1/4-5/8oz with a Pfleuger President reel Triumph TRS70MF - 7' Medium Fast Line wt: 6-12lb | Lure wt: 1/4-5/8oz with a Pflueger Arbor reel Pflueger Arbor PFLASP661F - 6'6 combo w/ Arbor reel that I got from Gander Mtn that arrived without a tip (closeout that they wouldn't replace!) - Can I replace the tip? Fenwick Silverhawk - 6'6 medium heavy (I think. It's in my boat's rod locker) - a buddy gave me this one, it's got a Pflueger President on it as well. Casting: Quantum TEC606F - 6' Medium Heavy Fast Line wt: 10-20lb | Lure wt: 1/4-3/4oz - This was a garbage pick I found on the side of the road. The rod is overall in good shape, the cork handle is a bit dry and the bottom cork is a little chewed but free is free! I don't have a reel for this. -- Can anyone recommend a budget reel for this? All of my spinning rods are lined with "moss green" 20lb Power Pro braid. I'm also looking to add a quality baitcasting setup to my arsenal. I've been reading the forums and am interested in potentially a Dobyn's Fury w/ Shimano Curado reel? Let's discuss. Comments, Concerns, suggestions please...
