Rod And Reel Ideas?

Featured Replies

So I have a 6 9' medium , a 7' heavy and a 7' medium heavy. I want a new rod and reel does anyone have any ideas? I like lews reels. P.S. I'm not sure what I want to use this rod and reel for. Give me your opinions! Thanks guys!

Price range? , you're taking a wide range of prices in general here. Anything from a megabass rod to an ugly stick? Lews range from an $80 reel all the way up to $300. And what do you like to fish, bottom contact, cranks, topwater, flipping? Baitcaster or spinning

Hmmm total? And whAts more important, the rod or reel

Try a *** *** with a lews speed spool which is like 200

Lews Speed Spool and Shimano Compre or St. Croix Mojo.

I'd get a cranking rod 7' and as for the price you already have stated you want Lew's reels, so that 100 bucks for the SS.  I'd recommended getting a Shimano Compre or Clarus TC4 (Graphite Composite) cranking rod.  I'd go with a MH for an all purpose one. 

1. BPS PQ/Carbonlite Combo, M/M rod, 6:1 reel for squarebills, lipless cranks and topwaters. The combo will run you about 160, which leaves you money left over for lures. The PQ is very similar to the Lews reels with a slightly bigger profile.

 

2. Lews SS with your choice of ~100 dollar rod.

 

3. Check ebay for a Lews reel. You could probably find a Tournament SS for around 100-110 which still allows a good budget for a rod.

 

4. Keep your eye on the fleamarket here.

 

My assumption is you can fish t-rigs on the other rods. If not, just change the specs to what you would use for t-rigs.
