i bought a cheap combo a few years ago when i just got into musky fishing that is still going strong.
7ft Berkeley Tactix rod, that i paid like $50. its done the job, but im looking to upgrade for next year. something longer and lighter. i really like the Legend tournament, but dont like the price tag.
Quantum Cabo CBC31 reel. got it for under $200 taxes in, due to it being discontinued.
i wanted low profile LH, i was going to go with this or the Revo Toro 61, but this was cheaper, and rated for salt water use (to use on a travel rod)
currently using 80lb PP super slick
next combo will be longer rod (maybe 8' - 8'6") and lower gear ratio 5.0:1 preferably
