OK so ive just got back into fishing, used to do it when i was a kid with the grandparents, that said ive sorta turned into a Bass Pro Shop whore problem is i don't know whats really good/overpriced. now i know more ball barrings is better, ive been using the old diawa 1300 last few trips on some no name kmart brand rods from like the 80-90s' lol... now the reels don't seem too bad they work lol, but the rods just feel umm stiff i guess alot of time if its not a big bite ill miss it... i did buy an ultra lite set up from BPS and it seems pretty good but again it doesn't seem to preform as good as i thought it would, its the micro lite 8barring on a i think its 5'6" UL BPS brand rod. basically im looking to spend around 200bucks for a rod/reel combo of course less would be better though. i mostly fish for trout but with the cat fish season about to start, warm weather right? i'd like it to work with the normal i guess smaller sized cats you would normally catch at like puddingstone/Santa Fe dam/peck road, or even irvine. any help would be greatly appreciated thnx
