      As far as rods go, with the new shimano crucials being debuted at icast all the old models are being sold dirt cheap. Definitely give them a look...

      Alright cool and what line do you have on he chronarch
    11. ReelGame Saucedo 0
      The brown one is a Castaway 6'8" ML that is a beast I have my Chronarch 200E7 paired with it
    12. Reel_Smooth 0
      I think he has it paired with the Chronarch for wading
    13. Reel_Smooth 0
      @ReelGame which one is the brown one you have?
    14. zach74 0
      Ok which rod of theirs...theres a few
    15. Reel_Smooth 0
      That would be 6'6- 6'10. I would try and keep it ML under 7'
    16. Reel_Smooth 0
      Get one mh, and a ml. If you like wading i would go with a 6'8 around there for free floating live bait, and soft plastics.
    17. zach74 0
      Which ones? @Reel_Smooth
    18. Reel_Smooth 0
      For that price i would say go get two different all star rods

      Thanks I'll check it out
    21. AllWaterLife 0
      The perfect all around rod IMO. By the way TFO=Temple Fork Outfitters. Just in case
    22. AllWaterLife 0
      You're looking at the kind of rod that I just got then. TFO 7' ML. It's a beast of a rod. Only for 99.95 too. Can throw any 1/2+ oz a mile and it's ...more light enough to throw topwater on.
    23. zach74 0
      Doing but the occasional red aswell
    24. zach74 0
      @AllWaterLife trout is mainly what im
    25. zach74 0
      Ok
    26. AllWaterLife 0
      Flexy tip but a solid backbone
    27. AllWaterLife 0
      That's a specific deal then. Trout have very soft mouths so if you use a stiff rod, you'll rip the lure out during hookset. You could either go with a medium ...more rod or a rod that has a
    28. zach74 0
      reds and trout @AllWaterLife
    29. ReelGame Saucedo 0
      All Star has a variety of excellent rods
    30. AllWaterLife 0
      And if bass, it depends on what types of lures you'll usually be throwing.
    31. AllWaterLife 0
      That's a little more tricky. It depends on what you're chasing. Reds, trout, bass?

    34. zach74 0
      Thanks guys i think its settled...now anyone know any good rods under 12

      Best reels on the planet

      Shimano
    37. Gabe Mitchell 0
      I'd go with the Shimano, personally preference
    38. Reel_Smooth 0
      I love Abu, but i think that chronach is a monster of a reel for that price point. The only shimano reel i really want is a 200e7.
    39. Esgar Montalvo 0
      I would go with Shimano, @zach74
    40. devron88 0
      I've got 2 chronarch e6s and I love them. The new ci4 curado Is a thing of beauty and still in your price range... It all comes down to preference but for a ...more fact the chronarch holds up
    41. ReelGame Saucedo 0
      Buy the Shimano first if it ever gives you problems then take it back and try the Abu but go with the 200E7
    42. zach74 0
      Alright @SwampMafia

      I have not used either, but both have good reputations. I don't own a single Abu reel, but I own more shimano reels than I care to admit. 😜
    45. AllWaterLife 0
      It's a good reel bro. Get the 200E7 and you will not be dissapointed.
    46. zach74 0
      Ok @AllWaterLife i also have another rod for bass fishing but would use it on occasion
    47. AllWaterLife 0
      th as butter. However, reeling in a bass feels like nothing so just know that it's at the high end of strength in low profile Baitcasters.
    48. AllWaterLife 0
      Both good reels, I can tell from experience though that 1: shimano has awesome customer service and 2: you won't need it for that reel. It is a beast. I've ...more dunked it once or twice and it is still smoo
    49. gr82bstr8 0
      I prefer the Abu....but can't go wrong with either.
    50. zach74 0
      Alright I'll look into the smoke thanks for the input @Ratfish
    51. Ratfish 0
      Both are great reels. I have used the sub and heard good things about the shimano. I recently got a quantum smoke, I like it better than the STX, and it's cheaper!
