Baitcaster + Rod recommendations?

[fishin-fool]

I went ahead and ordered the Shimano Caenan reel and the Shimano Clarus 6'8" medium rod. Ordered through Sportsmans Warehouse via store delivery. Also, they have a $20 off $120 or more at the moment. So I got $20 off! I'll let you guys know what I think of the rod and reel when I get them. Really looking forward to it!

A recent trip to the local walmart netted me a new baitcaster and rod combo.They have a abu garcia black max combo for about $69.


For the price of this combo to me it is very hard to pass up.The rod has a nice action with a good tip,The reel is surprisingly smooth and cast very well.


I have used it on one trip so far and i paired it up with 12 pound Pline cx premium and was throwing texax rigs,and medium diving crank's and works well.For the price it is i think one be hard press to find a better performing combo for the same money
