Markystang Posted March 17, 2007 Report 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 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 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
JEREMY Posted March 18, 2007 Report 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.
