Hey guys,

I'm looking to get some recommendations for a good spinning rod/reel/line setup.. something that will be reliable... gunna use it mostly for plastics, shakey heads, weightless wormin, etc...

looking to spend about $200 or so for the setup...

what do you guys think?

thanks 8-)

For 200$ you could get a Shimano Compre 7' medium power extra fast action and a Shimano Symetre 2500FI and that would leave about 20$ to buy some line and KVD line and lure conditioner. I use the same setup and i wouldn't trade it for the world.

Sound good to me!

I was looking for the same thing around the same budget  myself a few months ago.

Out on the lake one day I started using one of my buddies rods he'd gotten from Dicks, a St. Croix 6.5 ft Medium Triumph/Daiwa Capricorn spinning combo and liked the action and feel of the rod a lot. Did a little research on it and decided it was hard to beat for the $120 it was on sale for. Noticed a few weeks ago they were marked down to $100 and bought me a second one.

I've been really happy with them, especially the rods. Of course I've never had any combo over $50 so I don't have much to compare with. Any of you more experienced guys have an opinion on that setup @ $100?

thanks so much,

what would be the down side of going with the 4000? saw it was onsale at bass pro?
