[QUOTE="RUGER, post: 5642300, member: 275"] The very first "nice" baitcaster set up I ever had was a bass pro rod and reel combo. Can't remember the exact set up, but it was in the $150 range. This was about 15 years ago. Fishing with a buddy, and my son. Saw some activity about 20 yards past my maximum casting distance, even with a rattletrap on. Decided to try it anyway. Rared back and let her go with all my might. Man had moved to the front of the boat to get something out of the tackle box and I didn't know it. It hit him, luckily, right on the thick part of his hat band, on the side of his head. Ripped the rod out of my hand. I heard it hit the boat but I wasn't worried about it at the time. Snapped the line and he was sitting there with the rattletrap on his head. Scared the crap out of me. He was fine so I bent over to get my rod and it was nowhere to be found. Uggg.. Couple weeks later my wife told me to buy another one, so I did. First trip with it I got snagged and was just pulling on it to move the back end of the boat over towards it and the rod snapped in half. :eek: It was a long time before I bought the third one.
