$50 spoon rod - is there such a thing?
Hey all, here is the challenge - I'd like to put together a combo for running a spoon on a way back in spring / fall trolling. Essentially it's to add to my buddy's spread. I rebuilt a Penn Longbeach 68 that I think will do the trick for the reel. I'd like to spend no more than $50. Is that even possible? Opinions please.

You might find a used rod at Essex fishing flea market next week.
Try the Wish a Fish table right when doors open ;) A good spoon rod IMHO should be 6'6'' to 7 ' with a limber tip. The soft tip allows the spoon to pulsate just right. A stiff tip arrests the action somewhat. |
Try a 7' Billfisher Live Bait rod. Bfaithful runs one for the WWB and it allows a VERY nice action with a spoon.
Drop him a PM. |
Skip - if I can, I will.
Reeltor - I'll definitely contact Greg. Cheers, bob |
Bob, I built 2 spoon rods last year for guys and both of them where 7'er. The one guy sent me a pic of his personl best that he caught on it but I can't build one for $50.00.
