fishinphilly reply :

My Snakehead setups. Johnny Morris JM10's purchased NIB from my bud for $50 each and a Berkley Lightning Rod Shock 7' MH purchased on sale at Walmart for $20 each. Brian.
lecisnith reply :
Really?! $70-$80 is your guy's cheapest combo?! Mine is a Daiwa D-shock combo that I will forever cherish because it got me back into fishing. Cost me about $20 and has caught me a lot of fish over the last few years.
Kevin22 reply :
I dont have any really cheap equipment, ive learned to buy quality instead of replacing/upgrading low cost stuff every year.
I guess it would be my slip bobber walleye rod, okuma deadeye $70 and a shimano sedona $60.
MichiganBass80 reply :
My "cheapest" as in the combo i spent the least on is a 7ft Skeet Reese crankbait rod that I bought brand new off of my cousin for $20 and a $50 Black Max reel. Add 10lb mono and a KVD 1.5 in sexy sunfish and it was probably my most productive setup last year.
Bluebasser86 reply :
One of my main jerkbait combos was $30 for the reel (H2O Mettle), $60 for the rod (H2O micro guide). I have some cheaper ones, but that's the cheapest one that's on the front lines.

Amen !
HookdUP reply :
Curado 200dhsv ... Duckett ghost ... 160 spent for it
Crutch reply :
Last year I bought new bass pro rods for fathers day. Already had casting reels so I think it only set me back $80 for both rods. Caught a ton of fish last year on those with flouro and senko's.
5fishlimit reply :
Spinning: Pfleuger Trion reel on a BPS Graphite Series rod. This it was about $80 in total.
Casting: Lew's Tournament on a 1st generation Veritas rod. I think it was about $200 in total.

Not I.
But if I were to guess, I'd say its those that can't afford to spend a whole lot on a combo --- they may want to have validation for their use of equipment that is far cheaper than most discussed on here. 'Equipment ***' isn't all bad, but nobody wants it to be consumed by it. 
new2BC4bass reply :
Already been a thread. My answer is the still the same. An outfit I bought for my grandson, but he didn't want to try a baitcast reel. It is now a dedicated spinnerbait combo for me. A Berkley Lightning with Daiwa Procaster 100HN...$48.02 with tax. In the other thread a guy found a combo at a either a flea market or pawn shop. Sold one of the items, and made money on the deal. That is how I would like to buy my outfits. 
ThatFishin'Guy reply :
7ft Rapala Magnum Spinning rod - $40 and an el cheapo South Bend Voltage Spinning reel - $15. This is now my back-up for my back-up
tholmes reply :
Cheapest? It was free. A Shakespeare #1920 Wondereel on a 5' 6" steel Shakespeare rod.
My Grandpa gave it to me when I was 10 years old (1962).

Kevin22 reply :
If we are going by what we paid instead of what it is worth then i have to change mine to my med crank rod. Won a free custom rod with a batson blank, 7'10" MMF. Have a lews laser mg on it that I paid $50 for. So $50.
ww2farmer reply :
Spinning: Berkley Lightning Rod Shock w/ Pflueger Trion. LR was $30 at walmart on clearance, reel was $30 NIB w/ free shipping off ebay.
Casting: Abu Garcia Vengenace w/Black Max 2. Combo was on clearance for $49.99 at DSG, plus I had $10 off a $50 purchase coupon, and at the time there was a $20 mail in rebate from Pure Fishing....$19 for the combo...........I'll take that all day, every day.
Both combos have served me well, taken lots of abuse, and won me plenty of money against guys with "better" equipment.
fisherrw reply :
Mines probably a old shimano citica and cabelas pro guide rod

EmersonFish reply :
I think the cheapest combo in my starting lineup is a Lew's LFS on a Duckett Ghost for jerkbaits and topwaters. Not super cheap, but my most expensive rig isn't all that expensive either. Everything is in that $200-$300 range. I just wish it all matched. I have OCD.
Patrick Morrow reply :
President + shakespeare pole. Was cheap as hell with during one of the Basspro discount days.
KyAngler_1120 reply :
LOL all of my combos are the cheap ones. I guess my most expensive is a Duckett Ghost with a Daiwa Exceller. All of the my other combos range 80-100 for the rod and reel. Just never have bought anything over that price range, but have always have the best of luck with my rod/reel combos.
matuka reply :
the one I turned into a lure retriever
CHugh reply :
Zebco Dock Demon rod and spinning reel combo, $15.99 at local walmart, and some 10lb braided I had laying around... I can't believe no one has posted that yet. It's fun to use and if you break it Zebco sends you a brand new one... I know because it's happened to me. I exclusively fished with this combo for 3+months because it's compact.
Flywatersmallie reply :
Okuma RTX spinning reel (free) and Fenwick HMG 6'9" ml (also free). So, I guess my answer is $0
FishTank reply :
A Shimano Calcutta 251 and a Fenwick Elite Tech rod. The reel was a closeout I got for $35 and the rod was about $50, also on sale.
fisherrw reply :
Holy cow that's a good deal!!
