What are some good baitcaster and spinning setups for under $180?

$175 for a Shimano Citica matched with a BPS Bionic Blade is a good deal: http://www.basspro.com/Shimano-Citica-E-Reel/Bass-Pro-Shops-Bionic-Blade-Rod-Baitcast-Combos/product/102965/-1538361

$180 for a Pflueger Supreme http://www.basspro.com/Pflueger%C2%AE-Supreme%C2%AE-Spinning-Reels/product/94739/-1332209 matched with an All Star rod http://www.basspro.com/All-Star-Team-All-Star-Spinning-Rods/product/51845/-1014808

Pro Qualifier matched with a Abu Vendetta or Veritas is the best setup in that price range IMO.

We might be able to help out more if you could tell us what you intend to use the setup for.

For instance, what type of baits will you be throwing with it, how heavy the baits you intend to throw with it will be (1/4 oz, 3/8 oz, 1/2 oz, etc.), what kind of techniques you want to use it for, etc.

My spinning set up Penn Battle 4000 ($99) w/ a 7' Ugly Stik inshore Select Medium ($49)

My brother who is all G.Loomis and all Shimano would probably say my ignorance enables my bliss, but I absolutely love it!

Best of luck!

Just saw a Revo, All Star combo at Gander Mountain for 200. Might keep an eye out for a sale.

If its the Revo S-L - All-star rod combo, $200 is a rip off. The price at Dick's is 119.
