Don't tell anyone but My little Okuma UL spinning reel and Okuma UL rod cost me around $35! Have had it about four years now and the money I saved over a $600 to $1200 set up I put back $35 for a new one if needed and the rest I spend fishing! I'm not sure what makes someone spend that kind of money on a rod and reel!
