Rod reel suggestions

[Chrisper4694]

in general if you're spending over 100-150 bucks on a reel shimano and daiwa are really good and just match the size you want. one or two sizes up from the smallest versions are usually good for lightish fw fishing but won't leave you completely stunned if you hook something much bigger. if you want to save money, it's hard to beat pfluger reels on the lower price range. the president is probably the best reel under $60.

for a rod i'd say look at the light- medlight st croix or fenwicks maybe like 7-7.5' if you want further casting. just go hold them, put the combos together and see what feels good. I really like a lot of the shimano rods too, even the lower priced ones like the clarus.
