Title: Looking for inexpensive rod reel combo
Post by: lhcbassman on March 19, 2017, 06:00:20 PM
Basically i want a casting combo that I let friends and family use but I don't want to break the bank for a rod that will be hardly used. Looking for a good combo for a around$100 so what's out there?

Berkley has the Lightning Rod Low Pro combo for $69.99. Decent for the money.

I keep a few of my retired rigs for my guest anglers. Lew's has what they call the American Hero Combo that's very decent. List is $80 but you can find them on sale for less.

take a look at a Lews Mach 1 rod and reel combo from Cabelas. They have them for $129.99. It includes a IM* rod and a 10 ball bearing reel. That should do it.

The academy has 25% off combos might be something worth looking into.

+1 on the lightning rod tho.
