Im looking for a good combo around 150, cant really go up much more. I want to get into using a baitcaster. I saw the lews mach 1 and it looks pretty good, anyone have any experience with this combo or recommendations?

i already have the avengeance lol, but not the reel yet

I have not, I don't really have the budget right now

Ive been looking for a good baitcaster for under 50 and found this at my local Walmart. does anyone have any experience with it? Would it make a good starter baitcaster? -Zayne

so I got the rod in today! I love it so far, it came in the older black version though and it is very sensitive for a medium heavy rod, I hav so far caught 3 bass, 2 panfish, and a small channel catfish. It performed very well on all these fish and the largest was a bass at 4.23 pounds. I paired it with an abu Garcia orra s in the 30 size. I'll update yall if I change my opinion at all. ya, it came in 3 days for me too! great shipping

I'm from ohio too homes, nw near toledo

check out the abu veritas or vengeance.

I had the 50 and the 15. the 50 was way to stiff and didn't cast well at all. the 15 felt a little weak, but casted alright and had decent sensitivity

ill check it out some time

right!

you should try it out sometime, my family got into it a few years ago and it is a money waster tho... we all have over 2 grand in bikes. my dad has one for 4 grand. I would say try out rays on one of the rental bikes tho. its how we got into mountain biking. ive never tried the triline, though ive heard a lot about it

I use 15lb for spinning and 30 for baitcasting.

are you into biking? I think its a great place to let off some stress and give my knees a beating lol

yea! have you been to rays?0

thanks! tight lines to ya!

lol! I was there not long ago, and I was wearing a shirt I got from there today from rays mtb park, ever been to napoleon?

thanks for the info! I hope to try some new rigs this week, but I need some worm weights too before that.

where you from in ohio? I'm in northwest about an hour away from Toledo

I think you should check out the abu Garcia orra or revo, or the shimano stradic for a spinning reel. for a baitcasting reel id look at the abu revo winch, or for larger game the abu ambassador.

True. And I know! idk why anyone would think the double blood is so strong especially... ive lost many lures to it, and I know I tie it right. but, an opinion is an opinion.

thanks!

hey guys and gals. I have heard a lot of controversy about what knot is the strongest for fishing. Many people I know say the double blood knot, while some say the knotless, and some palomer, and a few that swear by snell. I would say that the palomer knot is the best and strongest. I also like it for its ease of use. I would like some of your opinions on which knot is the best either by strength and ease of use.

Hey yall, I have always fishing senko weightless texas rigged and I want to know what people think are the best ways to fish a senko. I also would like to know how to fish a wacky rig. does the clearity of the water effect anything? I live in ohio and we have very muddy water and I was wondering if changes anything.

I have never had any problems using braid, from 10# to 150#. id say give it a try

yea, I don't know how to use a casting reel, I use spinning. I want a good bait caster but I cant afford it, I am only 14 and don't have the 300 to spend on a good baitcasting combo
