Just beginning to lean the ends and outs of fishing for Springers and of course I have a ton of questions but for the sake of not boring one to death I will begin my soujourn by asking what I call my first installment of a multitude of inquiries with basic salmon rods and reels 101 ...
Anyway, what would you suggest I start out with in regards to a good (but not too spendy $$ ) Rod and Reel for fishing salmon with? Is it possible to spend less than $150 and get a quality combination?

Thanks-

Mac
