I'm looking for a good musky setup.... the skys the limit on prices... thanks

Welcome to the BB

 

The problem with trying to recommend equipment is that for every person that likes a certain model reel OR rod....there's another person on the opposite end of the scale that says the piece is the worst "piece of sh*t" thing that has happened since sliced bread.

 

From MY limited experiences....I will say this.

 

TRY to find a used reel in good condition....for a fair price. Match it up to SOME kind of an appropriate rod and use it a few times. Then write down what you liked  / didn't like. THEN start looking around  the Internet for thoughts about the item.

 

JMHO....and I hope you see what I'm saying.

I'll have to try that thank you

Trying to recommend a rod & reel ...not counting line & lures eventually....would be like trying to debate Ford, Dodge or Chevy trucks. Everyone has an opinion and it ends up being more confusing than helpful. Dave has a good idea. Find some appropriate used equipement and see how you like it and go from there.
