new combo!

skeeter944 · 08-26-06, 11:27 PM

i went to bass pro shops earlier and bought the extreme baitcast combo. i cant wait to try it out! i got it for $127.18 ,but got an outdoor card and they put $5 on it. you cant use the card until you have $10,but it is a cool way to save s $$$!

I have heard good stuff about that combo, I'll be buying a new setup soon, but not from there...........
That outdoor card is cool!

Congrats man. Is it a MH or what? Getting new stuff is always great when it's fishing. Now the Santa ties I can do without, right along with the Chia Pet.

its a 6'6'' medium heavy rod,with the 6.4:1 gear ratio,right handed reel. i put some 15lb trilene big game green on it and will be useing it for plastic worms and jigs. my old worm rod that the tip broke off of is now my spinnerbait rod,because its now 6'3''! i cant wait to use my new combo,i might go later today for a bit.

Sounds like an awesome setup, I personally like a 5.3:1 or slower fear ratio,f or soft plastics, but I think the inches per handleturn is more important imo.

skeeter944 · 08-28-06, 12:09 PM

this reel has a 28'' per handle turn rating.

Vabass22 · 08-28-06, 12:16 PM

Yeah, I have a couple close to that, I just prefer something a lil slower, but I would love that setup, I usually use a mh falcon lowrider spinning rod for most plastics, because I am not skilled enough with a baitcaster, to use something that light yet.

you should try it,walmart sells some great baitcasters for around $55 or $60 bucks. there is one that my walmart has that is 6'6'' medium-heavy im7 rod with an abu garcia 5500c black baitcaster for $55.
