markiemark70 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Actually this time I did not go by looks. I looked for a major brand (that I have heard of) with a reel for $100. I will most likely look at the Saros while at BPS too and see which one speaks to me. I can spend the extra $30 if there is a compelling reason to do so. The reason I am looking to spend a bit more than the last few combos I have bought this time is because I am starting to see the err of my ways: I have 2 of them (one I bought, one was a gift from my wife) that are both less than 3 years old and both are having gear issues. One of them, when I cast really hard, it is like the gears just dis-engage and I cant click the bail closed for a few seconds. Compare that to the one that just broke that lasted me 20 years. I bought that Abu Garcia at LeBarons in Mississauga in 1990 for around $160 for rod & reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
