No car for me I'm a city boy through and through :) Stores need to be around Otttawa for me to reach them.

What kind of gear?

I was in CT earlier this week and they have a couple of good sales on some spinning combos.

They have lots of baitcaster combos but I wouldn't buy a baitcaster from CT.

You sign up for emails from both Sail and lebaron, They will let you know whats coming up. I believe Lebaron is celebrating 55 years in business and they have abumch of sales going on. Last week it was Rods and reels

thanks for the help guys I will sign up for the email updates for sure! Canadian tire is having some good deals right now will hit them up for fishing line it is like 20 percent off. I need one spinning reel and a soft sided bag, not to mention a bevy of lures. The spinning reel I don't mind paying full price since I want a good quality one. Willing to spend about 100 dollars or so on it. It will be mainly used for crankbaits and heavy (3/4 to 1 oz.) jig head fishing. Any ideas? I like quantum and shimano but willing to try any brand name.

Have you ever thought about going to a baitcaster. I was on spinning combo's for years, I made the switch to casting and wondered why I waited so long. at first it can be a little frustrating but after a day or two you get the hang of it. Plus you can find a lot of good deals on baitcasters.

If you still are after spinning I would say go with Shimano, I've never had an issue with them and you can get them serviced easier than other makes. pfleuger also makes a great reel check out the supreme XT.

Also if you can make it out to Paddletales on Thursday night its worth the trip. Lots of friendly guys there willing to give you advice and you can compare different reels on different rods.

If you are ever up the Renfrew way our Canadian Tire has a Pro Shop now with some quality Rods and Reels as well as the ability to order you pretty much any gear you can think of.

I have 2 baitcasters already, need the spinning reel for throwing crankbaits at dark(Backlashes are a pain night fishing) and to handle the larger jigheads I use with swimbaits for walleyes. Would like a beefy setup that can handle the heavy lures and spooling it with 8 or 10 pound fireline.
