Hunting & Fishing Versatile good travel rod and reel

[boomer81]

I alway keep a rod and reel in the truck right now its a diawa tournament ss with a 5:3 gear ratio. 3pc ugly stick. For my birthday and fathers day my wife said i have a $300.00 budget and she is taking my rig. So i can take it when we travel. Buy a couple extra spools keep braid mono etc.I have bait caster and other spinners. Im looking at these faster spinning rigs like abu garcia revos in the 6-7 gear range. I dont have anything faster than the 6 ratios

i fish mainly bass. But i would like to be able and throw some flys in streams in New Mexico and Colorado or fish off a pier or what ever in the gulf. One rig that could work in alot of situations. But also be a good bass rig.

Somthing that breaks down in a bag and give me option.s Probaly a medium or medium heavy ugly stick tiger. I know there are better rods but not many tougher

Other option is a 6wt fly rig like a sage bass or st.croix bass fly

For a traveling fly rod, I like my TFO BVK. Mine is a 7w and I really like it. Breaks down small, not very expensive, casts nicely.

My father, brother inlaw and myself all have okuma rods for inshore fishing. Two of us have Penn battle 6000 reels, and the other a Penn Fierce 6000. Almost think the fierce is the better option, even though I bought a second battle. Reason for the second battle, was go make it easier to switch from flouro to braid

Some 60lb mono and we were catching 10lb-30lb fish left and right. Easily 30+ fish in a couple hours, most taking 5-10 minutes to reel in.
