Fishing Pole... Help me. LOL

Quincy is going to open in a couple of weeks. I am going to get a couple new poles and reels. Have any recommendations on inexpensive ones? Especially the reels. How many bearings do I really need?

Thank you in advance.

Spin cast? Bait cast? Fly cast?

Try a Zebco 202 for an inexpensive reel.

Bass Pro has alot on sale right now. Yhey hav an ugly stick combo in open face or closed for 29.95.

regular spin cast.

Garcia, Zebco, or Pflueger. These are wonderful spincast reels. Garcia is most probably the best and sells for less than $50. Zebco and Pflueger sell for less than that.

The question of a pole is another matter. The variables to be considered are quite numerous.

I prefer the closed face reels. I started at age 5 or 6 with a zebco 202 my grandfather bought me. The rod is long gone but I still have the reel.

CG this got some good reviews.

Wish I could help more. I haven't purchase a new spin or bait cast in years. I fix up my old stuff or go to garage sales. My equipment takes a beating some years, but I tend to baby my fly fishing gear.

If you ever get into fly fishing, I would suggest trying out an automatic reel. I still have my grandfathers Martin and Pflueger makes on that is very similar.

Fine on poles. I bring three all ready for different things, I have more than three though. One is a bottom hook set up then a bubble fly and a lure pole. In the summer with the bass I use a much heavier one. Brands are good but I am looking for the actual model.

My reels take alot from me. In the spring I try, or have in past years, fished everyday.
