Clintje Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I wanted to get some input on both a budget swimbait rod and reel setup for now to throw hard baits like 3:16 shads but also a higher end setup for later one once I get some extra money. thanks guys I'm new to throwing swimbaits.

Later upgrade get a production rod for one of the custom rod makers TrebleMakerFishing, BOZ, danthefisherman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zase33 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Amazon has been having crazy deals on Abu Garcia reels lately. I just picked up the Revo Beast for just over 200. Normal price is 280. basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna be looking to add a higher end combo next year as well so I will definitely be following this thread. I'm leaning Tranx 300 and Dobyns 867 right. basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89will15 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I like my Lexa 300. Easy to find on eBay for 160ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossypumpkin Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I’m gonna throw it out there that there’s a champion 795 on eBay for $150 shipped... if you can scoop that you knock out your budget rod and quality rod at the same time. Budget reel: suggested lees or tatula 200 OR Abu maxtoro. StriperAddict and Rogervang 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperAddict Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I fish the tatula200 alot for small/medium baits. Great reel for the money. Super smooth I wish they would make a 300 size basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean_d Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Daiwa is coming out with a new zillion reel should be a great small-med low profile bait casting reel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aholodnick Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Dobyns Fury 795 x Daiwa Tatula 200 is pretty solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevro1et Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I've been very impressed with the Lew's 300 Super Duty, can be had NIB for ~$150 USD on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
