Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying new a new rod and reel.

I mainly fish trout and bass, but I'm not sure which rod/reel combo I should I get... Please help me with picking my new rod and reel.
Here are my choices:

Reels

I would go for the Pflueger Reel and Shakesphere Rod..... but thats just me.

Looks like the Shimano Reel is a bit too large for freshwater?? Shakesphere Rods offer a great action for freshwater.


To be honest, I like a much shorter rod for freshwater, so I am giving you my opinion based on my liking for smaller stuff.

Good Luck. :)

Since it seems you're looking to buy online anyways, check out ebay. You could probably find that rod for like 15bucks shipped and a similar reel for cheap too.
