Hey all, I want to get an "economical value" rig for my son for Christmas. Basically, I'm the type of fisherman that doesn't get the best, but I get the best Walmart offers. Haha. I use a few Okuma reels and Abu Garcia. Nothing great. My son is falling in love with the sport though so I thought I'd step up his game. I plan to get a penn battle spinning reel, probably 3000. I currently use Shimano Solara rods.....probably the best $20 rod out there. I've fished with some st croix mojo and g loomis greens and I would gladly save the money and use these. They're pretty versatile. I have 6'6" rods for me. I fish the mangroves a lot. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what to get him.
I assume you can't go wrong with penn battle reel. I figure a 6 foot ML rod? Any suggestions on what you would get?
We fish in Florida, Gulf and Atlantic. Mostly go after reds, trout and black drum. He will do some freshwater but I don't want to get him too many rigs right now
