RE: Centerpin (Float) Fishing Gear
You can start with a cheaper float rod...Okuma has a few options...or I like my Shimano Convergence. It's no $300 Raven rod...but it does its job...and has been landing me 25lb+ salmon and tons of steelhead in the past. I still have it...bought it pre-owned but in original wrap condition for $50 at the time...from an online forum.
You can also start with Okuma Aventa reel...but after trying one out, I was pretty disappointed with it. I went one level higher and got a used Okuma Sheffield online. Still not a "bling" reel like an Islander or a real Sheffield...but I can barely even cast that damn thing at the moment...so do I need a better reel? No. The Okuma Sheffield is grades above the Okuma Aventa though...even to my untrained hands. I never said you shouldn't get discount gear online. In fact, I love purchasing online...as long as you know what you are after! I bought my Penn Jigmaster, Penn Spinfisher, Shimano Baitrunner and my Daiwa Saltist online (slightly used) for anywhere from 30% to 50% off the sticker price. As long as you know what you are after, there's nothing wrong with discounted gear online...as long as they are good gear with online discount rather than poor gear at a cheap price.
