BPS Pro Qualifier, Berkley Lightning Rod.

Well let me start off with this, how much would you ideally like to spend on each combo?

First off, welcome to BR

Third, Please post up a photo of your DI's face when you get off the bus at basic training carrying a couple of casting rods.

about $125 for each combo. thanks for all the help.

I assume you will be looking for 2-piece (or more) rods. A 7' one-piece rod is a pain to travel with unless taking your own transportation.

I want to add my thanks for serving. and a wish that you remain safe. Also wecome to the forum.
