Hello.
I’m im looking for a rod reel combo that would be good to use to carry with me in my car. I drive a small Honda accord and right now I’m carrying a one piece abu Garcia vendetta 7’ 6” with a shimano slx dc 150 baitcaster however it has to go through the ski hole. When people are in my car they bump it and lean on it and I’ve noticed the eyelets on the rod are bending. I’m looking for something small and lightweight that will fit in my trunk out of the way but still has the strength and reliability to catch some nice bass. I like spinning reels but prefer baitcasters. Thanks for your imput and happy fishing?
