Some questions on a few pieces of fishing equipment?
ByI was looking around Bass Pro Shops and saw a couple things i was thinking of picking up. Any input on them would be greatly appreciated.
Zebco Bite Alert Spinning Combo
Shakespeare Ugly Stik Spinning Combo
Berkley Triline Big Game Fishing Line
I fish for mainly bass and an occasional medium sized walleye, or carp.

The Zebco Bite Alert Spinning Combo has two different sizes. One is HUMONGOUS, big enough for blue cats, flatheads, and what not. The smaller size, called the 30 model, will work good for bass, walleye, and carp as you say. I’ve also heard that the reels blinking device doesn’t always work, and I doubt you’d really need that blinker device with walleye or bass.
The Ugly Stik spinning combo is decent. It includes the Ugly Stik rod, which is a very durable rod, and it probably has a poor reel on it. I’d recommend the rod, but not particularly the reel. Although it would get the job done, you can find something better.
I use Berkley Big Game 12lb for carp, cats, and bass. It works very good for my purposes, it’s very abrasion resistant, and doesn’t have too much memory. I have it spooled on 3 of my reels as of now, and it works fine on all of them.
