Rod/Reel Combo
Posted on 5/16/13 at 9:54 am
Posted on 5/16/13 at 9:54 am
I have $225 worth of giftcards to Cabelas. I'm looking to pick up a new baitcast setup. It'll be used for bass fishing in N. Texas. Anyone have a good recommendation?
TIA

Have really liked my new chronarch. Might have to buy the rod outright but may be worth it

It will definitely surpass $225, but $250 for Shimano Curado E with Ugly Stik ($30).

I got my Chronarch on eBay for 150$

I'd suggest not getting a combo. Get a nice reel at first and just put it on whatever cheap rod you have lying around or can find.
Then go buy a nice rod whenever you are ready. I've always noticed the rods that come with the combos are usually POS.

No need for a corrosion resistant reel for bass fishing in north texas. Pass on the Revo Inshore and grab a Revo STX.

Ugly Stik ($30).

An ugly stik is not a very good bass fishin rod.

I'm a shimano fanboi.
But I did have the lowest grade revo(s?), it crapped out on me (I used it exclusively in saltwater though). I know the highest grade revo (Stx?) is a sweet reel. One of the guys I fish with has one. Posted on 5/16/13 at 12:29 pm to JAB528
I just got access to great discounts on Abu Garcia stuff so I'm planning on trying some Revos.

I recommend watching bapple's "First Time Firearm Buyers" video, followed by "Caliber Wars and Stopping Power" prior to making a final decision
