I recently sold my PS3 because games are boring fishing is were its at

and i have around $300 and all of it is for fishing so i was wondering whats a good rod and reel combo for a good price?

What type of rig do you want? Bait cast, spinning, or spin cast?

Bait caster

Ever use a baitcaster?

Everyone asks this,

I have used a Deep sea Reel witch is basically the same but bait caster has a button and deep sea have a little lever you flip.

But i will learn

That's great that you are interested in learning to use a baitcaster, but I'm gonna skip all the sugar coating and get strait to the meat and potatoes. A baitcaster is a serious fishing tool, and probably not the best choice to learn to fish on. Now that's not saying you can't do it, some folks pick up on them right away...others struggle with them after years of use. Personally, I have several baitcasting outfits and I love them, but for learning to bass fish I'd go with a spinning or spincast outfit. You're probably going to enjoy fishing more by reeling in a few bass instead of spending most of your time picking out a backlash. We can get more specific with some choices if you're interested, or some nice baitcasters if that's REALLY the direction you want to take. Just let me know.

                                                                                                                                                                             


 P.S. Anyone know how this post got so big? I didn't do it on purpose.

IMO The BEST Spinning combo for just stating out is the Pflueger Trion combo.( size 4735). VERY forgiving and is sensitive (IM 8) also has Kevlar wrap for toughness. price about $60 at Academy, Bass Pro, Cabela's, etc..

Ok well i have a guy coming over and i am buying a Uglystik Rod and a Shakepear Reel for $60.

Good choice RRichards151...you can't go wrong with an Ugly Stik! What type is the Shakespeare reel?

He dident sell me those, He did give me a good rod and reel cant remember what kind but its holding up pretty good.

For $60 he gave me rod and reel combo, Lota of weights, Plastics and a shiner bait with gols spinner.
