Hello first post been absent from fishing for about 4 years woke up this morning and ended up at Bass Pro Shops!Shopping for the lures was no problem I have fished all my life so I know what works!Problem was all the new reels I didnt know what to get I knew daiwai,shimano and Abu Garcia were all high quality reels but i was just looking for something to use around local canals so I was talking to the salesman at BPS and he sold me on Bass Pro Shops Bionic Plus combo $119!!!!!!
It has 6 ball bearings,anti back lash and feels like it has anti reverse also very comfortable to fish with.Now the good stuff I just took it out to try it not really fish but about a 1/2 hr into fishing I got a 4lb mud fish reel and rod handled it no problem they are not much of a fighter,than about another 1/2 hr later landed a 5lb bass and rod and reel handle with no problem at all.Iam very impressed how far reels have come in just 4 years!See how long it holds up....
Just wanted to share and intoduce myself look forward to chatting with you guys and gals!Happy fishing!BiG AL
Here is a link of the combo if interested.
