rbaquial Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hey Folks, I'm in the market for a 7' Medium Trigger Rod/Reel. Just wondering if anyone has ever used the Avantis Rod or Reels? What are your thoughts? Is it worth the investment? Any insight would be much appreciated! PS: I have a MUSKY ROD I wanna TRADE for a 7' MEDIUM or MEDIUM HEAVY Rod. Anyone got? PM ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauce Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 By "trigger" do you mean baitcast? Either way, if you are serious about fishing you should give purchases like this a lot of thought. Know exactly what you want and wait till you can afford something of high quality that will last you a long time. I bought a half decent reel last summer on an impulse. Its toast now and I'm out $100 that I could've put towards a good reel. All I had to do was wait a couple weeks till I could afford an extra $50. I can't speak for rapala rods or reels. But I do know that they make some great fishing lures. Don't be fooled by reels with high numbers of bearings. 10 cheap bearings don't hold a candle to 4 high quality ones. Why does shimano have a 4 bearing baitcast reel that retails for $500? BPS displays daiwa's $500 reel right next to it. Don't quote me on this but I believe it has 7 bearings. Daiwa makes good reels with good bearings, but shimano uses better bearings. Rapala? If you're looking for a combo that will last, save up until you can afford to splurge.
