daiwa 4000h spinning reel BG 4000 – Art's Tackle & Fly Airdrive Design – Lowers rotational inertia in the rotor Daiwa SAG4000-XH Saltiga Spinning Reel

This is extremely important in that early season cold water because I can achieve an erratic action out of the bait even when retrieving it very slowly

Ideal for: Freshwater and saltwater anglers, suitable for trout, bass, surf, and ice fishing

They work good until you fish a big crankbait or catch a few fish and the reel can not handle the stress

Finally, finally, finally, the heat is breaking here in the South

There is also a pair of 2-piece casting rods in the Devil range measuring 6ft 6in (2m) and 8ft (2.4m) with respective casting weight ratings of 5-20g and 10-30g

Starting out I would recommend the Shimano Tranx 300 or theDaiwa Tatula 300
