Markystang Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hey dude, I operate on a SERIOUS budget due to the fact that I've got a baby and a gf in university...so, I grabbed a Daiwa Procaster for 50 bucks (it has a 0 to 10 backlash setting 0 being for flipping and 10 for casting beginners) and paired that up with the Lighting rod that Mepps is talking about which I got on sale for 25 bucks.... For a 75$ combo I have to say i'm impressed. It's not even a year old so I can't vouch on the longevity but I think it's a great setup for a newbie.... I've tossed various sizes of lures around from j-13's to the 1" countdown without a problem.... Cheers, UF Funny! I just bought the EXACT SAME COMBO a couple weeks ago!! The reel (Procaster Tounament 100iL) was at BPS for $39.99, and the rod (6'6" M)was $24.88. I couldn't pass that up! I haven't even spooled it up yet, but it's good to hear some positive feedback.

PatrickGG Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I had one off those i bought it 2 years ago the one thing i hated about them is they cant be opened to get serviced and it got really loud after a few times out but i gotta say that it casted really far .

PERCHER Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks every body for your input.I was thinking about getting a round bait caster.They appear to hold more line,so in the fall I can also use it for some Quinte walleye.It looks like I may go with the Shimano Cardiff and a 7ft medium action berkley lightning rod.Spool it up with 12lb mono and hope for the best.Thanks again .Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEREMY Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I just picked up a bps extreme combo 150 bucks looks and feels like a decent rod.BPSMAN (ROGER)helped me out and said its a solid combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
