RE: Rod and Reel combo
Walmart has lots. The one I put in my 14 year olds hands did a great job yesterday. He handled a 6 1/2 pound bass with no problem on 10 pound test Trilene.
A 6' medium heavy spinning Lightening Rod. 29.99 Lifetime guarantee.
The reel ..Abu Garcia spinning reel 6 bearing drive. 35.00 Comes with an extra spool.
Model 103
You'll love it ,it's smooth , confident and great control. The drag is wonderful.; no hang ups so far. The medium heavy could land salmon , catfish,or bass.
