Top Rod and Reel Combos Specific to all Your Angling Needs
Muskie/Large Game Fish
St. Croix Premier Series Musky Rod
This rod has great balance and enables the angler to achieve “long-bomb” casts. It is also a great rod for the money because it can be used for just about any type of Muskie fishing. It also works great for large Flathead Catfish and offshore saltwater excursions. St. Croix is my top rod recommendation always, period.

Bass/Walleye/Inshore Saltwater:
St. Croix Premier Series Spinning Rod
The rods length and balance allow it to be recommended among others. It is affordable and its performance is truly unmatched. If you are looking for any sort of lake fishing, this rod is capable of handling just about anything that bites. Also, it is sensitive enough to feel the second that big walleye swallows your jig and minnow. I give this product 5 stars and it is a must for all anglers. It even works fantastic for almost all inshore saltwater fishing purposes.

Shimano Stradic FI Spinning Reel
This reel allows anglers with one of the smoothest drag systems on the market. Take it from a guy who grew up on Minnesota’s freshwater lakes. This reel serves purpose to every 10,000 of them. If you want to fish saltwater this reel is perfect for all inshore scenarios. It is perfect for casting live baits to redfish in all saltwater marshes. Want castability, a smooth drag system, affordability and a reel that is always with me no matter what? Well here it is.

Steelhead/Salmon/Trout:
St. Croix Imperial Fly Rods Model: I905.4
This is the rod I personally fish with. This is a 5 weight ideal for fly fishing out west for mountain range trout. It is a fantastic product and extremely low priced compared to other leading brands.

Pflueger Trion Fly Reel
This reel is extremely well priced, when you are looking for a quality fly reel for all scenarios this is my personal recommendation. Its construction allows long lasting performance, if you are looking for a top end fly reel at a low end price, this is for you.

Sage Flight Fly Rod and Reel Outfit
You want top of the line? Well here it is, order your rod specific to the target species. An 8 weight is ideal for steelhead and salmon. If you are fishing specifically salmon then bump it up a weight or two! This combination is also deadly in saltwater for redfish and inshore species. Just make sure to always apply oil to the reel, this is a technique I use to increase my reel longevity.
