I picked up a pair of Trions to ensure I have two lifetimes worth of combos ready to go. Smooth as butter, but I will set the drags light (just in case) for those bass or Northerns that want to intrude on my UL target fish. 😉

I'm not familiar with either of the setups you mentioned. Are you looking for spinning or conventional? I own both. You can buy a decent spinning rig for a reasonable price. Conventional not so much. Probably gonna hafta buy Japanese, they're heavy into that "finesse" fishing.
Thank you......

If you want to stay around $100, it is hard to beat an Okuma rod paired with a Pflueger President spinning reel. Rod length is up to your choice, and reel size is based on the line capacity you desire. I will have to get you the model # of the 2pc rod I have, though. Shimano and Daiwa also make excellent reels, but it all depends on your budget. St Croix makes great rods, but can push the budget up another $50-100. Good luck!
Thank you.....My budget is about $200 max

I have to second that on the Pflueger President Reel. Great all around ultralight/light reel depending on which one you buy. Starts at about $59. Better than more expensive reels. I pair it several different rods all under $100 or they sell it as a combo for $79 or so
Thank you.....

I have a LaCross 5’ ultralight that my son gave me. I love it. I don’t normally spend that much for a rod. Input a Pflueger President on it, not sure of the actual size but needless to say it’s small. I love this setup I have caught 2-1/2 pound bass on this and it’s a blast
thank you....

There are some great products made outside the United States but I know what you mean do your homework and look for the reviews to better guide you to buy foreign products especially with fishing gear Cheap is Cheap 🎣😎👍

Someone mentioned the lack of an anti-reverse switch on a reel. All my reels at one time had them and I thought they were important. Then I bought a Shimano Stradic that didn’t have one. I didn’t miss it and, in fact, now never use it on the reels that do.

Check E Bay and Facebook Marketplace for good deals. Depends on the fish you want to catch. Kind of depends on the fish you plan to catch. I use a lighter set up for casting for Striped Bass and it's a blast but it's still a bit heavy for fresh water fish but catching 12" to 30 plus inches Striped Bass is crazy fun. Rod bending, line screaming....Yep that is the best feeling!!!

I had mention that about the Mitchell 300 but was wrong corection was you weren't able to switch the reel from left to righthanded on the Mitchell's but someone else in a previous post awhile back had said something about the lack of an anti reverse on their Shimano 🎣😎👍
