swole_t Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 The only thing I buy used is baits, and that's because those baits are not available new. Everything else I buy new basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefly_25 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Little late on the comment but honestly, I say new rod and a used reel (from someone who takes care of it). In my opinion a used reel can always be figured out pretty easily. It's all in the thumb action during the cast. It'll take a day casting but you'll get it. I say new rod. You can always compensate for an iffy reel but you can't re-break a rod in. Everyone's cast mechanics are different... even your own from rod to rod. Personally, I get the most affordable rod I can and break it in to my casting style. Reels are just man powered machines, everything can b figured out; But, You will never figure out 100% how to cast another persons rod and that is your connection to the fish. Bottom line, for me, is to break my own rod in with my own human error and then figure out how hard to press on a cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
