VSystems are the best hahaha I think I'll be needing a rod soon lol =)

I know a guy who's selling 2 Okuma convector reel & rod combo's, $170 for both, should I get it ?!?! he said he only used once ????????? i'll offer him $150. what do yall think, are they good, don't know? never used okuma, but sence your talking about it aqua, let me know.

What size are the reels? The only conventional reel I've used are the Daiwa Sealine and The Saltist... You can get a brand new Convector reel for about $80. The rod will be about another $60. Maybe someone else can tell you a little bit more about Convectors =)

ya I plan to be doing a lot of fishing (my main reason for going) but I'm thinking about spending more coin and buying a penn senator 113h ($109 over the net) or possibly something smaller like a penn levelwind 309m ($70 over the net) now my next question are these reels cheaper in the states? Last time I went there I bought a 300yard spool of power pro 30lb for like $25.

If I where u, I would get somthing with gear ratio over 3.1, like a 3.6 to 4.2. The Penn GTO levelwind reel is good. The 230gto rates at 30 lbs/320 yards - ratio 3.6:1 at $69.99 & the 220gto rates at 20lbs/320 yards-ratio 4.2:1. at $59.99. This is good for your budget. Pflueger Contender reels are ratioed at 3.6, 4.3:1, 6.0:1 & holdling from 30/320-20/420 yards & priced at $ 59.99. Shimano Triton Graghite levelwinds reels - ratio 4.3:1 & 20/300 yards at 59.99. These are all from BassProShops. I've never seen any other fishing stores cheaper than them. I hope this helps u out.

Alright I just got back from bass pro and I purchased a spinning rod/reel combo because they are having a big sale, its a medium-heavy 7 ft rated for 15-30 pound line, the reel looks a bit iffy it has a 4.9:1 ratio, It was meant to be used for big catfish which is probably why it was %50 off got it for $25. And I found a nice spool of 300 yard 50 pound spiderwire sitting in my pike tackle box (it came with a reel I bought and I thought when the hell am I going to need 50 pound test braid and I never really trusted spiderwire cause power pro is the bomb) so I spooled it up (cause braid has no memory) 240 yards of 50 pound braid should do me just fine. In case you can't tell I wanna fish real bad and the foot of snow outside really isn't helping... make that a foot and a half.
