Pflueger® Trion® GX-7 Spinning Rod and Reel Combo

I would suggest the PFLTIONGX70COMB...7' rod, Medium action, 6-12lbs.

You used the reel on the bowfin...and that was also the reel I caught the bonefish with. The rod is just as nice.

Tried, tested and true. When my rod or reel finally dies, I'll replace it with another. I've been using this since I was 18...I'm 30 now. This combo has caught me a lot of fish. Lots of battle scars (scratches, dings and paint chips) on the reel, rod is just cherry. Still going strong.

Wicked! Yeah Ken I used your Trion again in California and each time I laid my hands on it I was amazed by the smoothness!

What kind of maintenance do you perform to keep it in such good shape after so much abuse?
