I bought a Gold Cup III BassPro reel from a thrift store for $8. I figured it wasn't that big of a risk. It looks nice, no rust, turns smooth, etc. Also has line on it. How much more should I expect to spend if I want to use it? I only wanted a basic setup to catch some bream, so I can practice for trout or something. I didn't want to buy things I didn't need (not yet anyway.)
I saw a wide range or prices at Cabela's, but one time the guy in the store said I had to "match" the reel with a rod, and I couldn't just buy any rod. I don't know if that was accurate.
