Least Expensive Combo. 2024


fishing user avatar*Hank reply : 

What is your least expensive combo? (casting or spinning).

Mine is a shimano Sedona w/ a berkley lightning rod-$110,

What's yours?....


fishing user avatarSonik reply : 

I have an old BPS Tourney Special casting combo from when it was a red reel and a cork grip rod. I think it was like $50 on sale. I have some 14lbs Big Game on it. Works ok for when I just want something I can bang around or throw in the back of the truck.


fishing user avatarI.rar reply : 

Hm.

Daiwa procyon UL with a 6925 president - $85 combo.


fishing user avatarKlebs01 reply : 

Cabelas fish eagle spinning combo $30. First combo I picked up this last spring after not fishing for 15 years. Then I got hooked and the bait monkey got hold of me. Now, I just got a Calcutta D and LTB for swim baits. Didn't take long for fishing to get out of control. Ha.

fishing user avatarRaul reply : 

Shimano Clarus + Shimano Sahara 2500 = 120 bones.


fishing user avatarThe Fisher reply : 

H2O Mettle on sale $29.95; Academy Ethos 7'H Rod on sale $39.95 two years ago, still working great.


fishing user avatarHi Salenity reply : 

My least expensive combo is this Duckett rod with a Speed Spin reel spoiled with 15# generic braid. The entire rig including bait was under $150!

Ironically the fish didn't care.

fishing user avatarmasterbass reply : 

Pflueger trion ($40) and a shimano crucial I got on clearance at dsg for $65 for a total of $105.  This is the cheapest combo that I actually use.  I have cheaper ones that I don't use like the cabelas pro guide/shakespeare agility casting combo for $39. 


fishing user avatarFishTank reply : 

For bass....

 

Fenwick Elite Tech MH 7'3" small mouth rod and a Shimano Calcutta 251.  Both both on clearance, $100 for the rod and $35 for the reel.

 

For bluegill and such........

 

Daiwa silver spincast combo.  $35 


fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

$15 2pc Shakespeare Excursion rod

$30 Shimano Sienna spinning reel

It's the Indian not the arrow.


fishing user avatarCapt.Bob reply : 

St Croix Premier 6'6" MHF Lew's BB1 w/30# 832 a pikes nightmare with Bucktails. 


fishing user avatarBooyahMan reply : 

Not for bass neccesarily but I picked up an older Mitchell ultralight spinning combo at a thrift shop for $7. Got me into the whole ultralight thing for a while and still one of my favourite light rods to this day. 


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

I have some cheaper ones but the cheapest one I use regularly for bass is an H2O combo. Bought the rod and reel both on sale, a Mettle for $29, Ethos micro guide for $59, out the door for right at $100 with tax. Probably my favorite jerkbait combo I've ever owned.

I'm sure you see it a lot around there too but I see a lot of pop bottles with line wrapped around them, same concept. 


fishing user avatarTywithay reply : 

Daiwa V series ($79) and a Tatula that cost me $90.


fishing user avatarDirtyDeuceGoose reply : 

My pflueger president rod and reel combo was $60.


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply :

Personally I prefer aluminium cans with some pebbles inside, they rattle when the fish runs with the bait, and I ain't joking, I do fish for carp with mexican yo-yos.

fishing user avatarBlues19 reply : 

H2O Mettle and Ethos both on sale.  Reel= $29 Rod= $49


fishing user avatarnew2BC4bass reply : 

As mentioned in the other thread, a 6' MH Berkley Lightning for $17 + tax and a Daiwa Procaster 100HN for $30 on closeout.  Awesome spinnerbait combo.  I did get a free Cabela's TXS XXI 7' Jig & Rig spinning rod when I bought a casting rod from the classifieds.  My grandson uses it with a spinning reel I bought new 30-40 years ago....a Shimano AX2000.  No idea what I paid for it.


fishing user avatarHoosierHawgs reply : 

Bass Pro Shops ProLite Special Casting Reel (Marked down from $100 to $60, couldn't help myself!!) paired with a 6'6" Berkley Cherrywood HD ($25) for jerkbaits/topwaters. So in total, $85


fishing user avatarcrankbank reply : 

MSRP:

 

Spinning: BPS Graphite 6'6 spinning (I think $35~) with a Pflueger President.

 

Casting: Old Fenwick HMX with an old Shimano reel (name escapes me).

 

Strictly speaking the price I paid: A few weekends ago, I picked up three Speed Spools for $35 a pop and a pair of Crucial's for 42$ and a Veritas for 34$.


fishing user avatarHoosierHawgs reply : 

Bought a new one! Picked up a speed spool for $40 and paired it w/a rod I picked up for $16.. So $56


fishing user avatarChrisWi reply : 

Abu Black Max with a Old Clarus I paid nothing for. Even caught my pb using it.


fishing user avatarGrantman83 reply : 

Tec spec elite on clearance for 35 (normally 100) and a Pflueger president. 96 total
