Thread: New Rod&Reel

Looking for a new med.-heavy combo, don't want to spend more than $250. Any suggestions?

For that price I would look at one of the penn 6500 bail less models and one of the rack custom rods John sells at J and M tackle.

Ditto........

The 8' Battle II combos are less than $200 ;-)

Not sure what fish you are after but I second the Battle II combo for Kings etc I have one and love it It can handle anything I've run nacross so far and smooth to use For spanish plugging live bait bubble rigs etc I use a Penn Pursuit Combo for $57.95 rod and reel It's got great line capacity is strong and smooth Good rod that will handle anything even a king yet light to use so your don't wear yourshelf out Can get one piece or two piece for traveling Due to the price I am able to have several on my cart rigged and ready so I don't have to retie in the heat of battle and normally if the fish want something I'm going to have it ready for them Has worked very well for me
