walmarts cheap gear will work. Ive been using a small abu garcia cardinal 101 on a ultra
light ugly stik rod, spooled with 30 lbs powerpro, spent maybe 25on reel 25 on rod, rod was
a combo deal. I also have a penn pursuit 5000, came with a badass 1 piece penn rod
for $53 from walmart, i went and bought a 7ft 2 piece ugly stik tiger gold/red, the pole says 10-50lbs line.
if you know how too use your drag correctly, you can get over a 10 lb cat in on a zebco 22
ive seen it. I actually was getting all my gear from walmart, my demon perfect circle hooks,
and what not, but ebay has better bulk prices on hooks and sinkers.
Just look for something in the names, shimano,penn,okuma, abu is ok but has cheap flaw
in some models, daiwa is good, and dont underestimate zebco. i have a giant zebco
s/w sport spinner reel on a 9 ft rod. If i get another spinning reel, id get the penn avenger
or shimano baitrunner. But for big cats, my next reel is going too be a leverdrag
baitcaster, been looking at the penn squall.
