New Boat - Need help with gear choices

I agree for checking Facebook marketplace for used reels/combos. Just picked up 2 TLD25 combos for $150 for the pair and look like they have hardly been used

Sea Pro sv2100/ Yamaha 150

Keep an eye out on thehulltruth. I picked up 5 brand new 2 speed tld30’s for around a grand. Picked up some star trolling rods for about 130-40 a piece and have some pretty good setups I like. I had 5 of the tld 25’s prior but honestly you have tto upgrade the handles and that will cost you 30-50 a reel. If you keep you eye out you will find the 30’s in that price range.

If I were buying spinners I would get 5-6k battles or Diawa bg in the same class. I like the bg reels more but I have had 7 battles over the last 4 years. Parts are super easy to get and the reels are so easy to service yourself. I have replaced a few parts on them but they all work just like they did when I bought them.

Good luck and that’s an awesome boat.
