2022 BUYER'S GUIDE: Best $100 Rod And Reel Combos!

The 2022 Buyer's Guide Series is here!!! Today we're kicking it off with the best $50 fishing rods and $50 fishing reels ($100 per combo). Our goal with these guides is to help you make educated decisions when purchasing tackle, as well as to help your loved ones shop for you during the holiday season. Let's go!

If you've never experienced our Holiday Buyer's Guide Series the next few weeks will surprise you! Every year we take time just before the holidays to film these videos to help anglers like yourselves make educated decisions about rods and reels, tackle, and fishing equipment. We start with budget combos and work our way up to the top of the line. After that, we shift gears and work our way through tackle and equipment. These videos run 7 days per week so forget our regular schedule and get ready for a TON of awesome new content!

If you have any questions about gear along the way be sure to ask in the comments and we'll do our best to help you. Below you'll find links to the exact rod and reel combos in today's video.

Love the buyer's guides, and the fact that Matt NEVER stays in budget, and Tim always acts like he is surprised!!!

[jbertran]

I'm almost 100% positive after watching 1 weeks worth of buyers guide videos that I will buy a new rod/reel combo! Thanks Tim and Matt for the great content!

[donaldpeterson]

When you guys first started these videos I happened to work at a tackle shop and would literally direct people to either the same products or the video itself for a first time buyer or even the purchaser. I still watch them cause not only do I like to be validated in my thoughts but to find a amazing product that I could possibly over look cause of the price range so thank you Matt and Tim for your time and wisdom. Praying for you both.

[brandonross]

Love series since the start of it I know it’s holiday season and my 11 year old son woke me and said it that time dad go look at the video 😂 put me in the Christmas spirit and thanks for all the knowledge over the years keep up the good work

[rconner]

What a thoughtful video! This will help me introduce bass fishing to someone for Christmas so that they have a more personal experience rather than feeling like a tag-along having to borrow everything. Thank you both and everyone who supports you.

[Anthonymahon]

Watched $100 and $200 combo videos and no love for Abu Garcia. Was really shocked when I heard lew's get some love..
👍 👍 👍

[TheRecona]

My Dudes thanks for finally making an actual true budget friendly guide ($100ish Combos). Now I can spend a few Hundred dollars on some Rod reel combos and get some really good quality that will get me a good ROI.

[laprice]

13 fishing is producing quality products, I’ve loved everything I’ve got from them

[robbiejohnson]

The average fisherman are not tournament fishermen I was one of those guys 30 years of tournaments had to have Loomis rods and expensive reels I quit 4 years ago and now kayak here in Florida saltwater and freshwater fishing so much cheaper and the quality of the products are a awesome thank you for your videos a lot of fishermen think they need what the pros use $500 to $1000 rod and reel combos but no fish eat the fish are hungry it’s is a-lot of pride look what I got thanks for your down to earth just so you know there are Millions of amateurs fishing than pros 👍

[nawinchester]

[Nick_Hunter]

New boat?? Been watching these buyers guides since you started them years ago. It’s like a tradition.

[shaunroberts]

Here we go another great buyer's guide video's. Always enjoy these for sure.

[EasyModeFishing]

The abu garcia black maxx combo remains 50$ despite Bidinflation somehow and its awesome. I abuse the hell out of mine with 50 pound braid and have caught a 9 pound bass on it.

[kentbrown]

I look forward to these videos every year. My inner tackle junkie thanks you

[austinbrask]

Are yall going to do the googan rods and reels this year? I know there are a lot of people who say they are good but most are associated with googan and I like how you guys are more independent but have brands that you like. I feel like you guys are one of the most honest people on YouTube and your opinions matter more

[hbstead]

Heck yeah, love the Buyers Guides. Thank you guys. Have a great Thanksgiving
