bait casting rod/reel

[walleyeking19]

I'm interested in buying a baitcaster rod/reel combo. I've used my brother's before and now i want to get my own, but i don't know what kind to get or how much to spend. any help would be great.

Try posting this in the bass forum. You'll get a lot of hits there.

I think you can't go wrong with an Abu Garcia Ambassator C3 for your first one. I think I have 6 or 8 of them now. After you get that one down you can upgrade to a more expensive/higher performance low profile one.

First are you fishing bass, northern/ musky, or walleye? I just got 2 for bottom bouncing walleyes, and can double for bass fishing. Cabela's prodigy which is a Diawa reel works well. I may even try it for light musky baits.

it will be for bass and walleye mostly maybe a little northern mixed in.
