I have been reading many posts about very expensive rods and reels.
I would like to let peole know that if you are just starting out, or need a back up, and want something which is high in quality and low in cost, check the discount stores.
Two years ago my wife decided to accompany me on my surfcasting trips. Although I had extra set ups, besides my own, I figured it would be nice if she had her own.
We went to K-mart!!!!! What we bought for $35.00 was a 9 foot, two piece, Abu Garcia graphite medium/heavy action, composite pole(which is rated
for 10-25 lbs test line and 1-3 oz lures.
The reel is a South Bend Condor Graphite(4.5 to 1 ratio) which holds 225 yards of 20 lbs test line.
This set up is VERY light and has been extremely reliable.
I have no qualms about recommending it.
