Way under 20 bucks ....

AND still ketches crappie pretty darn well , the line is really heavy for me ,so a split shot had to be added to get the jig to go down, but it isnt really to terribly bad for a "free" combo , I think they run well under 15 at the local wally world , not sure .
but they were giving them away at a spot my wife visited and she grabbed one .
it does not feel like a forever combo and not sure if it will last long , but so far it has managed to ketch some crappie and other fish on a several trips with the family .....
just a quick fyi for the budget minded group ...
KABOOM is the word

, free is awesome! I got some for $9.88 the other day to support a local scout troop. Ther are pretty stout rods fer sur

[SuperDave336]

Pretty colors on the combo whatever it is. Free is a great price!!!

[UpstateSC_Bill]

I can afford free. Even if it only lasts a trip or three.

[DockShootinJack]

Certainly a pretty color blue

Great find, and remember, it's not the equipment that catches the fish- it's the angler on the other end.

Actually the angler finds the fish, presents the bait and then the fish catches itself on the hook. Myself, wife and kids have proven this many times. No bite , even Mr. Crappy can't catch. A good angler does make a large difference though. Ketchn is a good angler. But he is humble enough to admit he does not catch every fish. Just funnin ........

Nice find by Mrs Ketchn! At som3 point maybe a give away to a youngster to get them “hooked” on fishing!

My wife bought me an Okuma rod and reel combo for $8 this spring. Was going to use it for sucker fishing but weather and a quick spawning run nixed that. Same pretty blue color.

man it has been a while since someone said sucker fishing , they smoke them if I remember right , one thing for certain we used to find a few in the trout streams that were beasts when I was kid , them were what they call northern redhorse suckers if memory serves me well ? sure did put up a nice fight ...
