Hey guys new to the forum and am looking at setting up a new rod and reel.
originally I wanted to go a NS Black Hole Amped C602L (2-8lb) or C602M (6-12lb) with either a 13 Fishing Concept A or Abu Garcia Revo 3 Inshore with 10lb braid as main line but after googling apparently fine braid isn't good to run on baitcasters? This would be my first baitcaster and have always wanted to try one...
so now I'm looking at the good old spin gear and thinking the Amped 7' 2-6 2pc rod and a Diawa Gen black 2000 size reel with 8-10lb braid... any other suggestions (rod & reel)for around that $450 mark give or take?
this will be mainly used for chasing bass and yellas in Dams from boats and kayaks with the occasional small-medium Toga.
primally cast 3/8 oz spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and 50-60mm hard bodies although I wouldn't mind playing with soft plastics and blades/vibes more often.
i like 2pc rods for ease of transporting.
Rod I am replacing is a shimano Jungle Stix 3-6kg with a Daiwa Arid spin reel loaded with 10lb braid, has worked well and will be put on back up/bait duties.
sorry about all the words, looking to solve my over thinking and learn a few things on the forum.
thanks, RIP.
