Rod/Reel Choice

[stevie951]

So the choices for Reels and Rod/Reel set ups seems to be endless, and while on a budget narrowing it down to a couple choices is still pretty relentless! I am looking to purchase a new set up, primarily used for Trolling on the kayak, I have always used Spinning reels, but never put much more though into it than that; is it worth venturing out and getting a bait caster or some other type of fancy reel? Along with trolling, am looking for something that can also be versatile and throw a lure some ways while i'm sitting in the Kayak.. I have been looking into Shimano and like what they offer. I am going to FH Sat. or Sun, and Saw the ads for Daiwa and Turners so I know there will be killer deals, and informative sales reps, I would just would like to know a little more in advance. All information is greatly appreciated
