Saw that Camping World had some fishing gear on clearance and I was looking to give bait casting a try this summer. The combo is $80 at other online retailers, so this looked like a deal. Reel gets decent reviews on Bass Pro and Amazon, nice entry-level baitcaster. Free shipping on orders over $99, otherwise it was $10 for me. Taxes, too, I suspect, but not in Oregon!
10% off your first order for giving them your email. My total was $58. Waiting to see if it ships as some of the "reviews" complained about non-shipping orders. YMMV.

BTW: there's an extra 10% off coupon code you can get by signing up for the mailing list. I saw a pop-up on my phone while browsing the site. If you order two of these, it ends up costing $104~ after tax (at least to SoCal) which is a great deal if you're looking for a couple setups or if you want to buy one for you and one for a buddy.
I 'converted' the reel into a "BFS" reel by buying a shallow spool off Aliexpress. Loaded it with 4lb or 6lb Yozuri Hybrid and it's a great 'budget' setup for that kind of fishing. I caught my first *targeted* LMB (2lbs~) on it drop-shotting - it was kind of dumb luck but it was fun catching a bigger fish on lighter gear like that. NOTE: it's not the most ideal/optimal BFS reel but it works in a pinch. Obviously the other BFS dedicated reels (like the Aldebaran, Calcutta BFS, SLX BFS, Alphas Air TW, etc) out there offer more precision casting and control but they are quite expensive too.

It's a decent deal considering inflationary prices on everything and especially fishing gear. The bmax3 is a good starter bait casting reel and the rod is decent quality.

This doesn't say if it's LH or RH retrieve...look RH, but who knows 🤷Thanks anyway!

If you do try it again, spool it up with thicker mono or braid to start off with and use maximum brakes and start backing off the brakes when you get comfortable.
I would also get the rubber practice plugs to throw around your back yard.
This may sound odd, but the mid tier and higher end baitcasters may be easier and less frustrating to learn on. It defeats the whole "slick deal" mantra by buying a more expensive product.

I know a lot of people love bait casters, and they're all the rage now, but I like fishing because it's peaceful and relaxing. It's like outdoor nature therapy, and that's the main reason I'm willing to do the work of packing up the gear to go, and buying the worms.
I mean no offense, but your post makes bait casting sound like the opposite of peaceful and relaxing, lol. 😄
Regardless, up voted for a fishing deal!!
bait casters require tension to be adjusted for the amount of forward weight and line/spool resistance. Do a drop test with a weight on the front. The reel should not keep spinning after the weight hits the ground.
but my main reason for posting is trying to find some salt water surf cast rigs... anyone know of any deals?
