who makes the best fishing rods and reels?
ive looked at abu garcia ,,pflueger,,,daiwa,,,shakespear,,mitchell ,,,dont know which one to buy
For general freshwater fishing (in the US), I believe the SHAKESPEARE UGLY STIK + BERKLEY LIGHTNING spinning rods are supposed to be pretty good, with ABU GARCIA not bad either.... you get a FREE BAG with the Shakespeare.

But then choosing a rod can be quite a personal thing (some people say it's a bit like choosing who you're going to marry).... and so a rod that feels great to one person may not feel so great to you when you have a go with one exactly the same, so if you're buying it for yourself (rather than as a gift for someone) you may want to try a couple out and see how they feel.
For reels, SHIMANO are the best no matter what part of the world or type for fishing you do....... with DAIWA not far behind.
