Well my first Musky season has come and gone ,may get out once more but its not looking good,anyhow ive invested a lot in tackle damm eye candy lol,but its time to get serious for next season,I want a new Rod/Reel Combo I use all St Croix equip at the moment with shimano reels but im open to suggestions whats better Baitcaster or spinning longer rod better or short and stout,ive got a bigger trolling reel now but I find it hard to cast,Id like to use the new combo for both casting once in awhile but mostly trolling,im not set on price but lets use 500.00 for starters
