BPS Extreme

[NAW]

Hey guys,

 

My friends Dad purchased a BPS Extreme bait cast combo a few years ago. He never could get used to the rig, and so it sat in his boat, and never got used. I think he might have taken 100 casts with the rod. Maybe a little trolling.

 

He decided to sell the combo, and told me to make him an offer.

 

My offer of $50 was accepted.

 

Now that I've purchased this rig, I have a few questions.

 

Has anyone used this rig before. 7.1:1, right hand, on a BPS extreme MH single peace rod. I'm just wondering if anyone has any input, good or bad, about it. Tips or tricks specific to this set up.

 

I was also wondering about line. I have about 80 yards of Power-Pro 30Lb braid I was going to spool it with. Mostly want this rod for pike, Musky, and trolling for deep water walleye, and Lakers.

 

I realize this in an entry level combo, but I figured it's a great rod to start with for Bait casting, and If I don't like it, there's always the OFC classified section..

Had an Extreme baitcaster/rod combo medium i bought 5 yrs. ago. Paid 100 bucks for it new at Bass Pro and used it quite regularly with 30 lb. Power Pro with no problems. Used it for bass topwaters and spinnerbaits. I wouldn't use it for muskies. It found the bottom of lake last year by accident.

50 bucks is a good price.

I just had a look on the BPS webside, and the same combo is still for sale there. $159.99. It doesn't look like anything has changed in the past 4 years.

 

Thanks for the info. I only was going to string it with 30 lb power pro, cuz that what I have kicking around my place.
