Buying a rod & reel combo translates into two critical things: less stress fiddling with gear and as a result, more time spent out on the water.
In some cases, however, rod and reel combinations aren’t always beneficial. Depending on an angler’s circumstances and preference, they can sometimes be a hindrance more than a help. Working out whether a combination is right for you, as well as understanding which to buy, is what this article is all about.
A rod and reel combo will most likely suit a beginner new to the sport more than an advanced angler who knows his way around a tackle shop. Buying a combo will take the time and effort out of matching up a rod and reel separately, and it leaves the decision of the pairing to the manufacturer, making it easier for beginners to avoid making poor tackle decisions.
