Low dollar trolling question

Start watching Cabela's for depthmaster Combo's I have a few fish 3times a year and have no issues with them. Are usually run specials for less than $50 for the combo. Order your planer boards from Frank's great outdoors. I would call the local bait shops looking for Ib frozen. I think green clown shoes is similar it's a stock color. How fast does your boat idle?

I have used the madgna pro 30 dx for 5 years now, the only issue I have seen is sometime the reset button wants to stick in on one of 12 we have, and one was dropped off the boat to ground at launch and that one you hear the drag making noise on......never took it apart to see what's going on.

Now these are not as good as cold waters or tekotas but are a lot cheaper and the average fisherman/women should not wear them out quickly. At the 30-40 bucks they are a great value.

Whatever rod/reel you go with, take the time when filling to make sure that when the counter says 100ft, that it actually measures that out, if all your rods/reels are the same once you get the first couple done you will have a good idea of how much it takes on the rest.

But look around there are some OK deals out there

These are just a few things that might work I just did a quick 5 minute look

Is there an ideal rod length for trolling that I should be looking for? Bass pro has a strata max combo for $70, does anyone have any experience with these? Junk or good deal?
