Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Freshwater, Go to DnR. 20-40 bucks will get you a great rod and reel combo. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWO Fishing Bum 2 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Fresh, I got a St. Croix rod and reel from DnR in your price range a while back. The rod has good sensitivity and the reel is good enough! It's a good choice. I also have a berkely ice rod/reel combo from Cdn. Tire; I believe it was $27. Again, the rod is descent, the reel is crap, but it gets the job done!
