      Hell yeah that would be cool too. Or Walmart now has 2 versions of there spinning and baitcaster. It's a "pro" model, few bucks more. Do a comparison of either spinning or baitcaster? Whichever you want? While nit quite that cheap, I am a budget rod and reel fisherman,so I love these videos

    I'm 37 years old. I live in Southeast Louisiana. I fished a lot when I was a kid but for a while, I didn't care too much for it. Never even owned my own tackle or rod and reel combos. About a year ago now, I was really bored and realized I needed a new hobby. I got a cheap spinning combo from Walmart. Used that for a few months. Then I decided I wanted a baitcasting combo. Went to my local Academy, looked around and decided to go with the Abu-Garcia Max Pro Combo 7ft MH as my very first baitcasting combo. I love this thing. I now have 5 baitcasting combos and 3 spinning combos. 😊

    I was once a Shimano baitcaster snob but during supply chain shortages, a Cabela's salesman recommended the very affordable BPS Formula baitcasting reel, which has 7+1 bearings, dual adjustable braking system, compact size, very reliable, casts far, doesn't backlash unless I mess up, click adjustable drag but not click adjustable spool tension, and fairly smooth on retrieve (tip: put it against your ear and wind at the store). It is almost always in stock, even in my preferred left hand retrieve. I think it's a great value right now. I now own 4 of them and they are all consistently good. The BPS Formula Limited Edition is a lighter grey with the same specs and quality at an even lower price if you are looking for a real reel bargain.

My Shakespear reel is now on my lure knocker setup. It worked ok like you said but on mine the tensioner now does nothing so it is a free spool.
    Also most all of my reels are on a $20 Walmart Shakespear rod 7 foot MH. It is light and sensitive.
    Enjoyed. Good stuff here.

    Both have 30 pound power pro. I landed a 37 inch bluefish on one of them, and the other has caught many keeper stripers while aiming for Black sea bass.

    Hey Lojo! Personally, I love any videos like this. Expensive, cheap, or just in between but perhaps like the “most reliable” or “best for your buck”. I think one for me and maybe a lot of other anglers who aren’t pros and don’t have a sh$&load of money to throw at reels and rods all the time would be a “best reel/rod/line etc. but within a budget of say like 150-200ish per item? Maybe even cheaper if possible. I obviously want and would LOVE to have all shimano or lews tournament custom reels but I just can’t afford it nearly as much as I want to.
    Anyways, just a thought. Thanks for the content! Love the channel! Tight lines from Kansas/Missouri.

    That quantum is not bad, I’ve had it for years and still use it some. It’s not as good as a shimano or lews but it has its purposes.
