Which rod n reel combo?

[urbanangler1990]

hey guys i was looking through the BPS flyer this morning and noticed a a few good deals, how is the Browning Aggressor Combo, for 59.88, is this a good buy? also the President spinning reel for 39.99, looks like a nice reel, or the Abu Garcia Cardinal 100 spinning reel for 34.88, does anyone have any info or experience with these tools, TIA

Here is a good value combo.

Berkely Lightning Rod from BPS for $18

Daiwa Crossfire -3i reel from LeB for $22

 

A nice back-up combo or to let friends use when you take them out.

I have two of the Pflueger Presidents series and recommend them highly. Very smooth and fairly stout especially for 40 bucks.

I have another pflueger and like it and have used the President and they are smooth and I too would reccomend them. as for the brownings as mentioned in the past should stick to what they know, being firearms...

Have you guys come across the Daiwa Steez 103HL? i seen it at the spring fishing show and alls i gotta say is its the lightest baitcaster "5.5 ounces" i ever touched but its kinda heavy on the wallet.

heres a link of the specs:

Daiwa Crossfire -3i reel from LeB for $22

Bought that for ice fishing, sweet reel for the price, even comes with two spools, but the drag aint the best.

I had a president, lasted 1 season until all the bearings seized up, even after I took it apart and lubed everything it didn't come back to life same thing happened to another 10bb reel, so I tend to stick with no more than 6bb, they are smooth while they last.

i'd go with the Shimano Stradic MgFA with a GLoomis Rod.

What does that have to do with combos priced under $75??

Browning reels will only teach you how to dismantle a reel over and over for repairs.

 

I would only buy there rods

Last year, the Aggressor was $99. For $60, you might want to look into it. Decent rod, and maybe they fixed the problems with the reel. Cardinal 100 is nice, but small. It wouldn't make a good bass, pike, or carp reel. I still haven't seen the flyer, so I don't know what's on sale.
