I been looking at a lot of reels. Used ones and New Ones. I been looking from Walmart to Ebay to craigslist. Ive done some reading but i still dont know what to get.
I found the rod i am going to get. Its inexpensive and i think it will get the job done for what i expect to catch. (Shakespeare Sturdy Stik BWB 125 6'6")I found it for about $20. plus $7 shipping.
We just want to catch a striper big enough to actually be able to keep it. The biggest we got is 13 inches. We tried trolling with our rods now. The guy at the tackle shop told us he uses 10 to 12 ounce weights on his lines. I think that was way to big for our rods. We used some umbrella rigs. I think we will move down to 4-6 ounces next time.
**Now, what reels to use??? As you can tell from the rod i chose, i do not want to spend too much money. Any suggestions? Or anything i should out for on Ebay? Should i get a reel with a counter on it? Spinner or baitcaster?
Any links to something worth while would be awesome.
Anyone selling anything that might work for me?!
Any techniques or tips would be great.
