I understand this is a broad question.  got any recommendations?  or idea what would be fair price  on said equipment. seen recomedations on  shimano and daiwa reels   hg or fk reels .    not sure what all gentelman  has for sale. that's why the question    taking you guy advice if I would happen to see something you have mentioned might help in my quest.     tight lines to all catch big ones this year thanks lonnie

Keep this in mind when looking at used gear as far as bang for the buck. The reels available today are really improved over reels sold just a few years ago. If you can afford $60 to $150 for a reel then I would look at some new Daiwa reels. For $60 Tackle Warehouse has the Daiwa Exceler reels, this is a very nice reliable reel that actually retails for $100.  Next take a look at a Daiwa Tatula CT, these are some really nice reels for $100 off Amazon and elsewhere. Lews and Shimano have their fans too. Sometimes you can find some higher end reels that sold for $300 or more selling used for $150.  I can supply a couple of places to look if you pm me later.  

As for rods. Here is where you can really get some good deals. The pros push what is hot and set trends. The push towards big long rods has made some good used rods available.  For used continue to look at Dobyns, G Loomis, St Croix as well as Powell.
