Questions for the Musky Guys - Looking at buying my first combo

[F7Firecat]

Let the guy get out there and catch a muskie, got to start somewhere and that combo will definitely get him out there! If he gets the "sickness" then we all know its over with. LOL

lol if that was a left handed reel i woulda grabbed it from you in a second pete..

LOL! It seems like every post I see from you is about the handle being on the wrong side. Have you ever thought to yourself 'gee, maybe I'm reeling with the wrong hand?' Just pulling your leg here.

 

Grab that combo for $100 $80 and get out and fish. You might put yourself inline for some future heartache, $80 won't break you. On the other hand, you might find muskie fishing isn't for you. Is it the best combo out there? No. Can you beat it for $80? No. Does it have the potential to leave you with a life long memory? Yes. The fish in my avatar was caught on a beat up Shimano Corsair 400 and a St. Croix Triumph rod and to this day, it's still my PB muskie. Since then I've significantly upgraded my trolling and casting setups. I like using the better gear but that first fish will never leave my memory.

Grab the combo and get out there.

 

Use the difference to invest in the proper handling and release tools. There have been ample threads on what gear you should have if you intend to fish for Musky.

 

Cheers,
