Top 5 Baitcast Combos

The right rod and reel combination can make or break your next fishing trip. Baitcasting rigs, while they can be more advanced, do have several advantages over other rod and reel combos that make them worth using. When you choose to use a baitcaster, you can use heavier fishing line and will be able to cast more accurately, helping you to catch bigger fish.

Great, affordable combo

To be honest the price first attracted me to this combo so I bought one. It's has become my favorite combo. I liked it so much I bought two more to set up for different rigs. The rod is solid but sensitive and the reel is easy to dial in and casts a mile. I've caught many chunky bass with this combo and it always performs well. I put 50 lb. braid on the first one to fish heavy mats and cover and even with a light senko I always feel the bite and it has the backbone to haul them out if you don't do anything crazy. Solid all round combo, a bargain under $100.

I really enjoyed but

I recently had a pretty good Bass on. Well it appeared to be around 6lb. I got it almost to the bank and well about three eye hooks down the rod snapped. Not sure why I keep all my rods in good condition. But this was definitely a bad day Fishin because this has become my favorite Fishin combo thus far.
