[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4238959, member: 50626"] I’m assuming you’re going for either a spinning reel or a spin cast (push button zebco type) I’d avoid a bait caster unless you’re fairly experienced Budget? Always spend a bit more on the reel and cheap out on the rods if needed IMO a guy really needs at least 3 rods… 1: medium action bass type rod. 1: light action crappie/sandbass rod. 1: heavy action/large reel catfish rod. If you’re seeking one “do all” set up go with the medium action middle of the road size. Something like 6ft or 6ft6in medium power rod with a fast tip and a 2000-3000size spinning reel. For spinning reels you’ll be fine with any of the offerings from shimano, diawa, pflueger, penn, etc in the $70-$120 range. Any cheaper than about $70 and you’re getting beginner junk that won’t hold up to frequent use. If you’re wanting another zebco button type the zebco omega is very nice one! I have 1 for my son and it’s soooo much better than the cheaper spin cast reels [/QUOTE]
