opinions welcome - plug setup on a budget
I am trying to put together a plugging/lure setup with a budget of around $100. Cheap I know, but thats what I have to spend. The 2 rods I currently like are an 9' Ande Tournement and a 10' Ugly Stick (40-50 bucks). The Ande is pretty sweet. It's rated up to 4 oz. and is light as a feather. The Ugly Stick has its reputation that we all know. Tough.
For Reels I like Penn's Captiva 5000. #^^^^&s Sports has Okuma Stratus (not GT) reels for around 35.00. I already have an Okuma Avenger (a cheap line) and I like it. I also may be able to pick up a used Coranado. I also like the idea of scoring a 700 series Penn on Ebay: 704, 704Z of similar for around the same $.
#^^^^&s also has a Penn Captiva combo (9') for 99.00. Walmart (Wallyworld) has a Captiva 5000 combo (7') for 65.00. Whats the best deal/best way to go. I'm open to ideas and certainly other retailers, I'd prefer to buy from the boards sponsors or local b+t, but I gotta stay around 100.00
