BUYER’S GUIDE: $400 ROD AND REEL COMBOS

These rods and reels are for the angler who loves bass fishing, fishes often, and appreciates quality gear! This probably isn’t your first combo and you’re willing to spend a little more to gain sensitivity, casting distance, and longevity. In short, we’re getting into the serious fishing gear now. Pairing a $200 rod with a $200 reel takes you into a completely different class of equipment from our previous guides. 

If you’re ready to elevate your fishing, this video is for you! These are the combos that truly impact how you fish. Depending on the model you choose you’ll be able to detect more bites, get the right action out of a bait, or drive a hook set like never before. Perhaps you want to work a jerkbait properly. Or maybe you’re looking to get a combo that can walk a frog with ease. Perhaps you’re looking for the exact action for a jig. These are the options you gain when you step up to these $400 combos. 

Below you’ll find links to the exact rods and reels shown in the video. We’ve included our favorite models and sizes for each, as well as any other pertinent information.
