Anyone know of a good spincasting combo which are also inexspensive? I want one that would be good for smaller salmon, with around 8lb mainline. Canadiantire has all theres on sale, are they decent?
Most are "decent for the price" but stay away from plastic and spend the little extra on a reel as it will last a long time for a little extra cash. The plastic cheapos will die quickly, 1 yr from my experience with often hook ups. A good reel will last forever, well almost.
Another issue is the tip-top on the rod. I've had the incert fall out while fishing several times with different cheap rods, which is bad when you are fishing a hot spot and then your line keeps breaking??? No incert on tip-top and it was running over ruff metal, I was not happy. I would buy have a tackle shop put a new and much better on for $5-10 and save the future headache as ALL of my cheap rods had the same problem.
I'm taking one in right now as the tip-top fell out and destroyed my line so it cost me double to fix. I should have know better.
