Re: Bait casting set up
I have a bunch of Abu Vendetta / Shimano Curado G setups that I am happy with. I also have a couple St Croix Triumph and a premier rod that I have been happy with. I haven't tried too many others, so unfortunately I don't have much to compare them to for you.

Re: Bait casting set up
I personally don't think I could get by with one set up for bass fishing. I like a 2000 size spinning reel and 6'6 or 7' m or med lt for drop shot, shakey head, small swimbaits, swim jigs and cranks and a 7 or 7'6 MH baitcaster for jigs, frogs, top water, larger cranks, deep cranks, spinner baits, buzz baits etc. I know that doesn't make it easy but that's my preference.

Re: Bait casting set up
I use bait casters for bass with swimbaits, cranks, jerk baits, med or large jigs sometimes. For whacky rigs and worms I always use spinning because I can't skip a lure for crap with a baitcaster...I've seen it done but I can't even come close haha.

Re: Bait casting set up
Abu, Daiwa, and Shimano make good baitcasting reels. I've also heard good things about Lew's. If you've got $200 to spend, make sure at least $150 goes into the reel. A cheap baitcasting reel will break before you get it out of the package! As for rods, a Berkeley Lightning Rod will give you great bang for your buck. St. Croixs are great rods, but they're a little pricey.

Re: Bait casting set up
I purchased 2 Shimano Casitas in December used them a few times before the ice. The are just as smooth as my more expensive Curado I's. As for how long they hold up, I can't tell you but they fit into your palms very well. The line capacity is small so be aware of that. I got mine at Ramsey Outdoors in North Jersey, they have $20 off $100 coupon that is allowed to be used on Shimano reels (which is rare). Good luck on your search, St. Croix Mojo rods are good for the price, can use coupon on those too. Good luck on your search
