Default Re: Looking to buy my first rod/reel combo -- Feedback?

Do you drag bait, or use bucktails when you fluke fish? I wouldn't recommend the Fierce for bait, but would for bucktailing. I used a Fierce with a 6 foot ugly stick when I first started seriously fishing on boats when I got my license and it was great for the money. Killed lots of fluke with that combo. I would however suggest spending a bit more and buy a Penn Battle with a separate rod, the Battle is much more worth the money IMO. Though it really depends on how you fish and what weights you normally use.
