Location: Oconomowc, WI		I use okuma comvectors for my live bait rigs and trolling small to med baits. Been holding up good so far and they aren't expensive at all.

Yeah, I run tekotas on my bigger trolling setups and they are awesome reels! But if you want to go cheaper the okumas are a good option.

Location: oswego, il		Okumas are fine. I have 20dx reels that are over a dozen years old caught lots of fish on suckers and trolling. No issues. Since your not running 100's of feet of line you don't need a huge reel. 20 series is fine. For a rod you can use a 7' heavy catfish rod. Plenty of options there too but you can get away wih an inexpensive rod.
