Buyer's Guide: High End Rod and Reel Combos!! Best Rods Money Can Buy!

Its time! The lightest, most sensitive tackle on the market is the focus of today's Buyer's Guide! Today we're exploring the finest casting and spinning combos you can get! We're looking at a variety of rods and reels, discussing the advantages of each, and teaching you how to pair combos together to create perfect matches for your fishing style. 

Instead of looking at a handful of brands and explaining the differences between them, we decided to mix it up and look at specific combos that have changed our fishing. Matt and Tim each brought 10 high-end combos they enjoy using, and explain the advantages of each. 

We've included links to every combo, in the order they were shown. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse were you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. Many are available to purchase but in the midst of this crazy year, a few are backordered and some are available for pre-order. If you have questions about building your perfect high-end combo leave a comment and we'll do our best to help you choose the right gear for you.

2019 Shimano Antares 70 Reel Review

The New Antares 70 is Shimano's latest flagship reel. We took it out on Clearlake and put it to the test against some BIG bass! How did it do? Is it worth the money? Let's find out!

The key features of the reel are a smaller, streamlined, Magnesium Hagane body. MGL Spool III for reduced inertia and amazing performance, even with light baits. X-Ship and Micro Module Gearing give the reel that buttery smooth feel and SVS Infinity Braking makes quick adjustments a breeze.

What does all of this mean to you? It means that you're about to pick up the smoothest casting reel you've ever experienced. It will cast light baits with ease but turn around and throw heavy baits a country mile. If you're looking for a top of the line reel that will make fishing even more FUN this is as far as you'll ever need to look!

We have been blessed to purchase a variety of nice equipment over the years and no other reel has had the smoothness and feel of this Antares. In the video we said pre-ordering was available (and it is) but as of this writing there are actually a handful in stock at the link below!
