cheap combo
 

what kinda pole/reel combo would work for someone who doesnt use plugs very often? i have a penn 9500ss/uglystik 11ft for my surfcasting with chunk baits... but once in a blue moon, might want to toss a plug or two to see what happens, any ideas?

when i say cheap, i mean under 75$ and can be gotten at bennys walmart or m&ds or whatnot as i dont want to invest hard-earned dollars on a setup that isnt used very often..

this'll be used for in the surf off the rocks like the wewantic or in falmouth or wareham or barnstable or sandwich :)))

thanks... :-)

Check out the Ticas
I have a 8 footah that I used all season for plugging.. Its about 60 bucks

ticas has a rod/reel combo?

ohhh. my bad... nope no combos..

Tica rod with an Okuma AV 50a few others in the shop also.

go to mike's, dan.

Got a 9 foot Tica for Mrs Crafty to try (Mother's Day gift - one of 'em) - I'm amazed at the quality for the price - 65-70 bucks retail.

Now I'm anxious to try it - looks nice too, doesn't look cheap either - feels good, wanna try it with a 36" weight attached for starters to see if she'll like it :laughs:

I just PM'd MikeCC to see what he's got... I may spring for a Tica Rod....

8'-9' Graphite combo
 

Jugs-tah,
Decathlon Sports (Hanover is the one I go to) has some combo's in your price range that are great for the money. Graphite rod, and shimano "knock off" reels. It is their store brand rod and reel but it seems they added all the bells and whistles as far as quality guides, cork handle, and even a liveliner option on the reels.
