[QUOTE=Fishin is life;357096]Depends on what techniques you will fish most frequently....if you throw a lot of moving baits.....spinnerbaits,crankbaits,etc....id go with a more expensive reel.....if youre fishing deep structure with a worm or jig where that "feel" is imperitive id go with the rod....and the one thing overlooked is what fits your hand the best....everybody has their favorites and you just have to figure out what yours is[/QUOTE
