Best reels/rods for the money
Fisher123 replied to The Fruit Bowl's topic in Salmon Pro's Connection
I have a few Penn GT's which are great but more expensive than I want to spend. I use all Convectors other than 2 Penn's and have had no issues. For rods I have a mix, and would say Talora are amazing but pricey. They are by far my best planer board rod. Next would be Okuma GLT, and Im personally not a fan of the TDR for planer board rods. Dipsy I have Ugly Stik BWDD, and Daiwa Heartland. I like the Ugly Stik, and just got the Heartlands so I dont know about those yet. Rigger rods are 20 years old and I dont even know what they are. I know mixing planer board rods typically isnt good, but I have vertical trees that it doesnt make a big difference. Just wish I could afford more Taloras. Btw I fish 12-20 times a year on LM. The rest is walleye trolling and perching. -
I typically store my rods outside. Even though I changey leaders, I do store my rods with the swivels at the tip amd with tension. I make sure everything is clean as far as any dried gunk. All of my tackle goes in the basement, primarily to play with during tge depths of winter. I like being organized and knowing what I have so I make charts/spreadsheets for my spoons, flashers, flies, etc. It gives me time to make my winter want list and buy throughout the winter. I do keep my organizers and boxes open to make sure any condensation or moisture dries. Im not sure this relates to more fish in the boat, but satisfies my possible OCD. I also spend a lot of time reading threads and articles and take notes. This helps me for next year when trying new things. One thing already picked up is wire divers but one is going to be a slide diver with the big ring and 7oz weight. That setup has me excited.
