I think folks who spend that much money on something when something 1/3-1/2 the price will easily do the job do it so that they can tell you they spent $X on a setup.<br />
It's kinda like the Yeti cooler to me.  Do they keep your drinks cold longer?  Yeah - probably.  Enough to justify how much they cost?  I dunno.  I've never had issue with my coleman cooler and a bag of ice.  It's not like I'm staying on the water longer than 14 hours tops.  So I think a lot of people get a Yeti (or eat at Ruth'c Chris) simply to let people know that they can have/do those things.  <br />
<br />
Anyway - you can make do with much more economical tackle.]]></content:encoded>

The combos are usually around $250.00 and sometime less on sale. Can use on the troll or bottom bouncing. I still have 4 of them I’ve had for a long time.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[When I first started fishing outside the inlet I caught my first 2 kings on $19.99 Walmart surf combos so don’t think you have to dump tons of money just to get started ( NOT recommending that by the way). The levelwind has a guide that moves the line back and forth on the reel, something you don’t want if you hook a smoker king, hoo or anything that’s gonna run a lot if line off. In the other hand the levelwind might be what you want bottom fishing. I knew once you got a little more specific the guys on here would be of great help. In fact, let us know when and where you’ll be shopping and we’ll go help you spend YOUR money LOL. Good luck to you Keelshot! Just don’t get discouraged, keep asking the questions here and learn something new every time you go out.]]></content:encoded>
