I dont do much bassfishing mainly I just chase big catfish but in the last few weeks I have been doing a little bassfishing, I have a couple older shimano baitcasters so I decided to buy a new reel I purshased a abu garcia orra sx for under 100 dollars this is a very nice reel I have it on one of the rods that I already had but I am going to put it on a veritas rod I dont think you could find a better combo for under 200 dollars.

I own one. It's ok...but it's not the rod that my Shimano Cumara is however, it's about half the price of the Shimano. I've read people complain about the veritas breaking but I've not had that problem. I set the hook on a stump not too long ago (obviously, not intentional) hard enough that it about broke my arm but it was just fine. I would buy another one too and might next year
