I have stockpiled a small fortune of rods and reels over the past couple of years. I buy used and look for good deals. Or half off new price. I have 4 penn longbeach rodsd with 209 levelwinds (looks like a squidder) I bought rods and reels new for 100.00 at Walmart one year. They were 50 percent off. These work great for bass and blues. I use these most of the time for chunkingl. And if they get banged up on the boat who cares. I bought a couple of used daiwa sealine's which I put 2 114 senator's. I use these for cod. I think one was 35 bucks and I bought the other in a bundle of 8 rods for 50 bucks. I like the sealline because it has a hand grip on the handle wich is nice when jigging. I cant see buying a custom chunking rod for a boat. I would save my money....but thats just my 2 cents

thats why they call it fishing not catching

I don't know how to wrap rods, and unfortunately, I can't take up another hoby. Between fishing and spinning plugs, I am full. So I guess if you know how to wrap them, you can do it on the cheap, but my fluke rods cost me $130 a piece at CMS.

However, I do not cheap out on reels. IMO, this is where you gotta spend the $$$, and the more $$$$ the better the performance and longevity.

i bent my wookie
