Purchasing a new rod/reel - need opinions
Hi all, I'm going for a trip to Quebec this upcoming weekend and I'm gonna
purchase a rod and reel. I checked online and the store we're going to is selling some rod/reel combo's and I'm quite interested in the following combo that they have: Rod - Shimano Clarus 6'10" (I think they made a mistake here because the Shimano webiste only lists 6'6") Reel - Shimano Sahara 2000 or 4000 (I'm thinking of getting the 2000 since I mostly do trout fishing) This combo is 160$ CND plus tax. Is this a good purchase?? Thanks, Dre |

This is a good combo...not sure on the price in CND, though, but for all
around fishing, you should be fine with this. "Dre" wrote in message ... Hi all, I'm going for a trip to Quebec this upcoming weekend and I'm gonna purchase a rod and reel.

BassPro Shop price is Sahara = $59.99 (USD)
Clarus Rod $59.99 (USD) That makes $119.98 (USD) That should be $157.115 (CAD) (@current exchange rate) I would think you could do a lot worse. Is it a great deal? I don't think so. But in the short time you have given yourself you may not be able to find a better price. As for the combo, I have a Sahara 4000. It is one of my favorites and it is 5 years old. It is used in both fresh and salt water. Have not used that rod.

Thanks, Dre Try http://www.eangler.com They have a closeout on that combo for $109 USD....Not sure of the exchange rate but I think that puts you somewhere around $144 CND..... Enjoy and good luck catching....Ross |

Thanks for the help everyone. I did get the rod and reel on the weekend and
I think it's gonna be an excellent combo. The rod is only 6' though and I took the Sahara 2000 since I mostly fish for Speckle Trout. The combo is nice and light so if I get a nibble I know I'll feel it right away. As for the reel it's super smooth. I was hoping to get the quickfire trigger which this one doesn't have but I can live without it for now. Now unfortunately, I'll have to wait for fishing season to begin.
