What would be a good all round bass rig? I need something fairly cheap, I don't want a $150 rod and a $60 reel. I prefer a spinning reel, just for the way they feel in my hand, but if thats not a good bass reel, then I guess I will live. Got any idea?

Sure 6 1/2 foot Berkley Bionic Med. Rod 35.00
or Lightening Rod 6 1/2footMedium28.00

Any of their 30.00 Shimano Reels

10 lb Trilene 250 yds. 6.00

Buy at Walmart. If you don't like it ...take it back.

Once again sound advice from chuck. chuck do you fish with road runners much? One of my favorite for catching all types of fish.

I bought 3 along time ago . I was hoping to catch some Sunshine Bass with them. I did not catch anything. My favorite bait similiar to that which I have lost count of the fish I've caught is the .......3/8 ounce White Rooster Tail.

that is a great reel and below this is a good rod to match it.

imo that is the best $100 spinning set-up

i own several lightning rod/ shimano combos, awesome for the dollar.
